Does the home of your dreams need some TLC?
The Answer May Be:
FHA's Streamline 203(ks) Mortgage
3.50% down payment required (Gift Funds Allowable)
If you are buying a one to four family home that needs repairs or improvements the FHA 203Ks loan may be right for you. It allows up to $35,000 of repairs or improvements to be added to the mortgage. The house is appraised as if the repairs/improvements have been completed. Once the mortgage closes, typically 3 to 6 months is allotted for the work to be completed. The FHA 203Ks loan is for owner occupied homes only.
