Looking for a fix up property...with mortgage financing readily available?

You believe you are either a handy person when it comes to home fix up porjects or maybe you know someone who is handy. Shopping for foreclosed homes seems like a great idea for you, as foreclosed properties are the properties most likely to have some fix up projects that need to be completed.

This is a grea idea, right up until you are not able to get financing on the foreclosed property. You may qualify for a mortgage, but the property must also qualify for financing and this is determined by an appraisal inspection. If the appraiser determines there are work orders on the property, the lender may flat out turn down the mortgage or it will be a requirement that the work be completed prior to closing. And, to make it interesting, generally speaking the seller will not allow you to do the work and many times will not do it themselves either. Pretty much turns that property into a cash only opportunity.

Do not give up... you just need to look in the right place. Fannie Mae has a number of foreclosed properties on their books, and believe it or not, they are not interested in being in the business of retaining properties, so they came up with special financing, call the Homepath Mortgage.

The Homepath Mortgage might be just what you need to meet your home purchase goal of doing some fix up yourself. Not all the properties are going to have repair needs, but it is one of the best resources for finding those that do! Depending on the property, there are other special features of the Homepath Mortgage, which make it the right choice for today's buyer.
