Best Answer

A 203k loan differes from a typical conventional mortgage in that it is designed to provide financing for renovations to a property as well as the purchase price or refinance of the existing loan instead of just financing the purchase of the property.

Two of the conventional loan programs that work similar to the FHA 203k are the FannieMae HomeStyle and HomePath programs.

In all cases these loans are 1st loans and pay off all existing loans while providing the additional renovation money.
