A few things to keep in mind when obtaining an FHA 203(k) loan:1) Improvements paid for with a 203(k) loan must generally be completed by a licensed contractor and are subject to approval by an FHA appraiser as well as oversight by the FHA-approved consultant if it’s the standard loan option.2) You must develop a remodeling plan, schedule, timeline and put it in phases.
