FHA 203K Rehab Home Loan
The ideal property that needs...HELP!
Spotlight on the HUD 203K Loan Program
So, you have your eye on a property that needs work? You have good credit and you qualify for a home loan but, you don’t have the capital required to renovate a home. Think about the HUD/FHA 203K loan.
• You can acquire a home loan to rehabilitate the home of your dreams.
• You close on your mortgage only once.
• You use an account as a draw to renovate your home.
• You must use a licensed general contractor.
Who do you talk to?
• You start with me; I will put you in touch with a terrific lender who will get you started on the pre-approval process.
• Once approved we shop for your home.
• We submit and offer and hopefully push it through to contract.
• We have two levels of inspection; a home inspection to determine condition of the home and then
• An inspection by a licensed general contractor to help us determine the costs of items needing replacement or renovation.
Once all of that is complete we close and you begin fixing up your new home.
Your “draw” can be used for the following:
• Insulation
• Carpeting
• Ventilation
• Heating and Air Conditioning
• Paint
• Vinyl flooring and the list goes on and on.
• Permitting fees
• Up to six month outside living expenses.
• Contingency reserve
Other requirements:
• This will be your primary residence so no flipping is allowed.
• You may not use a 203K on investment properties
• There are caps on how much can be borrowed.
• The program takes LONGER than conventional financing, but not painfully so.
