    Standard 203(k): Renovation Funding Solutions
    Buying a home that needs modernization? Making updates may be a great way to build home equity. Most lenders make you take out two loans to do that: A home purchase mortgage and a second, higher-interest, short-term loan to pay for upgrades.

    The Standard 203(k) loan rolls those two loans into one. You pay one set of fees, get one competitive interest rate, and go to only one closing.

    Current homeowners can refinance into a lower rate and get money to pay for needed home improvements with a single 203(k) Standard loan.

    Streamlined 203(k) Renovation Loan:
    Use the 203(k) streamline loan for projects costing $35,000 or less. Homebuyers:
    Pay for repairs flagged by your home inspector or appraiser after close of escrow. Home sellers:
    Update your home to achieve optimal value when you're ready to sell. Homeowners:
    Make repairs or improvements.
