The Federal Housing Authority's 203k loan program is HUD's primary program for the rehabilitation and repair of single-family properties and Multi-Family Properties.

WHAT IS AN FHA SECTION 203K LOAN?

The 203k is a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance program, which enables homebuyers and homeowners to finance both the purchase (or refinance) of a house and the cost of its rehabilitation through a single mortgage, or to finance the rehabilitation of their existing home. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $5,000.
