Home Renovation Loans
A single loan to help homebuyers purchase/refinance and renovate.
What is a Home Renovation Loan?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 203(k) program and Fannie Mae's HomeStyle Renovation loans make it easier to purchase or refinance and renovate with a single loan. These loans are ideal for updating and renovating an existing home, as they are based on the property's future value after the renovation is complete.

203(k) Renovation Loan
203(k) home renovation loans, insured by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), enable you to finance both the cost of the home and any required improvements. These loans cover projects such as:
- Roof and gutter repair and replacement
- Installation of energy-efficient windows
- In-ground pool repair
- Room additions
- Kitchen and bath remodels
- Flooring upgrades
Fannie Mae's HomeStyle™ Loan
HomeStyle is a conventional loan that lets you finance renovations up to 75% of your home's value after the work is done, and also covers luxury items like pools and tennis courts.

Limited 203(k) Loans
These loans cover both the acquisition and specific repair costs up to the maximum amount allowed by FHA limits. The total repair cost may not exceed $35,000 and must be cosmetic only.
Standard 203(k) Loans
These loans cover both the acquisition and repairs, including structural changes and additions, up to the maximum allowed by FHA limits. The total repair cost may exceed $35,000.
HomeStyle Loans
These conventional loans cover both acquisition and repairs, including structural changes, additions, and more, up to 75% of the as-completed value of the home. You may not need mortgage insurance if your down payment is large enough.
Why Use a Renovation Loan?
A renovation loan offers the convenience of one mortgage, one closing, and one monthly payment. You will need to make a down payment, and depending on the type of loan, you may be required to carry mortgage insurance. With a renovation loan, you can make necessary improvements to your home without having to deplete your savings or use up your credit cards. Plus, the interest you pay on the loan is tax-deductible.

203(k) Eligibility
The federal government's insurance of 203(k) renovation loans makes it easier for borrowers with lower credit scores and down payments to acquire them. Lenders assume less risk, and can be more lenient with eligibility criteria compared to other loan types.
HomeStyle™ Loan Eligibity
Qualifying for Fannie Mae's HomeStyle loan means you can use it for either your primary residence or a second home. This loan is a great option for those with a higher credit score, some extra money to put down, and who meet the requirements for a conventional mortgage.
