What type of rehab is generally covered under the rehabilitation loan programs?
Code violations, lead hazards, things that mainly affect the structure or energy efficiency of the home (siding, roof, windows, electrical, plumbing, heating, etc.), and making the home handicap accessible are among the items usually included in the rehab. Funds cannot be used for cosmetic items (redecorating things that only affect the way the home looks), new construction, acquisition of land, or additions to the home.
