We have all heard the negative news lately about the real estate market and the glut of home foreclosures on the market. You may be thinking now is the time to take advantage of the low interest rates and purchase a foreclosed home. But the problem may be some of the foreclosed homes you have seen need a lot of repairs and improvements. You don’t have the cash to make these repairs. Well, there is good news and it comes in the form of the FHA 203K Rehab Loan.

When I refer to the FHA 203K Loan, I am referring to the FHA Streamlined 203(k) Limited Repair Program. It is for improvements and repairs that don’t require structural improvements.
