Consider an FHA203K loan or a Fannie Mae Homestyle Renovation loan. I like the Fannie Mae just a little better because the mortgage insurance is cancellable where as the mortgage insurance on the FHA loan is not. So the only way you have to get rid of the MI on the FHA loan is to refinance it to a Fannie Mae after the reno is done.
