What Is an FHA 203K Loan?

An FHA 203(k) Loan is a rehabilitation mortgage designed to help you purchase or refinance a home and finance eligible repairs and improvements at the same time.

Instead of getting a separate loan for the home and then another for renovations, a 203(k) mortgage rolls the purchase (or refinance) and renovation costs into one loan with one monthly payment.
