What Protections Do I Have if Renovations Don’t Meet Quality Standards on a 203k? (You Control the Money!) 🛡️💰

On a 203k loan, YOU are the final gatekeeper of every dollar. If the work doesn’t meet your quality standards:

1. You must personally approve each draw request before funds are released to the contractor.
2. Don’t like the quality, workmanship, or completion? Simply do not sign the draw request.
3. Money stays in escrow until the issue is fixed to your satisfaction.
4. You can also request a change order to correct or redo poor work—the consultant reviews it, but you have the ultimate say. This built-in borrower control is one of the strongest protections in the 203k program.
