⚠️ Estimates only. After Renovation Value (ARV) is an estimate based on comparable sales and is not a guarantee of future value. Renovation costs are estimates and may vary significantly based on contractor pricing, materials, and scope of work. Actual equity position depends on a certified appraisal, market conditions, and final renovation costs. Always consult a licensed appraiser and contractor before making purchasing decisions.

Renovation Loan Programs

7 Ways to Finance a Fixer-Upper

Every program below wraps your purchase price and renovation costs into one single mortgage — no second loan, no paying out of pocket for repairs before moving in.

FHA · Limited

FHA 203(k) Limited

The streamlined renovation loan for cosmetic and non-structural work. Covers kitchens, flooring, roofing, HVAC, windows, paint, and more — anything that doesn't require structural engineering or foundation work. Recently updated to allow up to $75,000 in renovation costs. Faster and simpler to close than the Standard 203k.

FHA · Standard

FHA 203(k) Standard

The full-power renovation loan for major repairs and structural work. Covers additions, foundation repairs, septic systems, full gut renovations — anything goes. Required when renovation costs exceed $75,000 or when structural work is needed. Requires a HUD-approved 203k consultant to manage the draw schedule and inspections. Best for serious fixer-uppers.

CHOICERenovation

Very similar to HomeStyle Renovation — same conventional loan structure, same investment property eligibility, and any renovation type is covered. The key difference is CHOICERenovation includes a resilience improvement credit for upgrades that protect against storms, floods, wildfires, and other natural hazards. Your loan advisor can compare both programs and recommend the better fit for your specific property.
