HUD Home Buyer Information

Your HUD Home can be Your Dream Home

If you are thinking about buying a REO property that needs repair, FHA’s 203(K) rehabilitation loan or it’s simplified alternative, the Streamlined(k) may be a good option for you. FHA’s simplified Streamlined(k) program for small-scale repairs is the perfect option for most HUD REO sales. For the major repairs & more complicated renovation plans, the Standard 203(K) program is the option.

HUD Homes, like the majority of property re-sales, require some level of repair. FHA’s Streamlined (k) program allows the buyer to finance both the purchase and the cost of minor repairs and/or upgrades through a single mortgage. While there is no cap on repairs for the Standard 203(K), the Streamlined (k) allows for repairs from $1 up to $35,000.

For the Streamlined(k) option, homebuyers identify their repair needs, which may include: new carpet; interior and exterior paint; new appliances; kitchen or bathroom remodel; exterior landscaping and other minor improvements.

A realtor or FHA approved lender will be able to answer specific questions about the Standard and Streamlined 203(K) loan program.
