A 203K streamline loan is a loan provided to the purchaser of a home to do some renovations and or improvements to a home they are purchasing with cost ranging from $5,000 to $35,000. That is why it is called a 203K streamlined loan. A FHA 203K loan is for a total rehabilitation of a home that is in need of major repairs and renovations and is not in livable conditions. Some purchasers get these two types of loans confused. There is a myth going on around the 203k Streamline loan that a consultant may not be needed. That is true up to $15,000, if the work comes to more than $15,000 a consultant will be brought in to complete a 'plan review' and insure that other required items are added to the work write up.
