Expect a standard FHA income and asset package plus renovation extras: contractor bids, licensing, insurance, and a scope that supports the after-improved appraisal. Standard 203(k) also needs a HUD consultant write-up. Having the rehab stack ready is what separates a fast close from a stalled one.
Four buckets every FHA 203(k) file usually covers.
FHA 203(k) is not a standard purchase with a vague remodel wish list. Underwriters and appraisers need line-item bids that match the financed scope — so escrow draws have a clear pay schedule and after-improved value has market support.
Missing insurance certificates, unsigned bids, DIY scopes without a licensed contractor, or a late consultant write-up on Standard are the most common document delays after credit is already approved.
