FHA 203k Loan Eligible Properties
What Types of Properties are Eligible? To be eligible, the property must be a one to four-family dwelling that has been completed for at least one year. The number of units on the site must be acceptable according to the provisions of local zoning requirements. All newly constructed units must be attached to the existing dwelling. Homes that have been demolished, or will be razed as part of the rehabilitation work, are eligible provided some of the existing foundation system remains in place. The 203K program may also be used to convert a single family dwelling to a two, three, or four family dwelling. An existing multi-unit dwelling could be decreased to a one to four family unit. An existing house may be moved to another property that is mortgaged or an existing house may be moved to a property that is not mortgaged. However in the latter case funds will not be released until the foundations have been installed and the house place on the foundations and the work has been inspected.
