What is the difference between FHA 203(k) Standard and Limited?
The FHA 203(k) Limited (formerly Streamline) caps rehabilitation costs at $75,000 and does not allow structural work. It's designed for cosmetic and non-structural repairs. The Standard 203(k) has no renovation cap (other than FHA loan limits) and allows structural work, additions, and major system replacements. It requires a HUD-approved 203(k) Consultant.
What is UFMIP on an FHA loan?
UFMIP stands for Upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium. FHA charges 1.75% of the base loan amount at closing, which is typically financed into the loan. This is separate from the annual MIP (mortgage insurance premium) that is paid monthly.
How long do I pay MIP on an FHA 203(k) loan?
For loans with less than 10% down, MIP is required for the life of the loan. For loans with 10% or more down, MIP can be removed after 11 years. This is a key difference from conventional loans, where PMI can be removed once you reach 20% equity.
Can I use FHA 203(k) for an investment property?
No. FHA 203(k) is for owner-occupied primary residences only. If you're financing a renovation on an investment property, look at HomeStyle Renovation, CHOICERenovation, or hard money/bridge financing.
Where do I find the FHA loan limit for my county?
Use the official HUD FHA Mortgage Limits lookup tool at entp.hud.gov. Enter your state and county to find the applicable forward-mortgage limit for your property unit count and loan-limit year.
