Carlsbad 203k Loans

The FHA 203(k) loan is a great option if you are looking to purchase and renovate a home all at once.

How Does A 203k Loan Work?

With an FHA 203(k) loan you can purchase or refinance your home while getting the renovation work covered in one fell swoop. You'll pay for it over time as part of Repairs and Renovations, so all that's left is to pick out which projects sound best!

How to qualify for a 203k loan

With the right qualifications, a 203k loan can be your ticket to homeownership. You must meet certain guidelines in order for this type of financing option:


  • The FHA 203k loan requirements are not that different from a standard home purchase.
  • Must meet the FHA credit score requirements.
  • The maximum debt to income ratio is 45% but some lenders may allow more.
  • The FHA loan limit for your county cannot exceed the amount you are trying to borrow.
  • The home must be your primary residence and meet property eligibility requirements.
  • Provide verifiable employment history lasting two years beforehand AND bank statements showing consistent income throughout those periods.
  • Wait for one to two years before applying for the loan after bankruptcy, or three years after a foreclosure.

How to Apply For A 203k Loan

Applying for an 203k loan requires a couple of key steps:

  • When applying for an FHA 203k loan, it’s important to know your budget and how much money you can spend on a new home and renovations. You will need current income information as well as expenses from previous months in order to calculate what kind of monthly payment would be manageable with these numbers before submitting any applications.
  • Be sure all of your documents are in order. Make two years' worth of tax returns; recent pay stubs, and driver's license available because they'll need them all during the process. You should also provide full statements from any account where money is held (including checking accounts) as well as information on retirement plans like 401(k)’s if applicable.
