Does anyone have information on what are the lending criteria as required by 203k lenders. Can you suggest a 203k lender in Indiana?

Hi,

FHA insured 203k loans are good option for all those who want to purchase a property that requires repair and improvements. Most lenders will not lend money against properties unless it is good in condition and offers full security for the loan. A section 203k is a combination of a short term rehabilitation loan and a permanent fully amortized loan.

In order to be eligible, the property must be 1-4 family dwelling. The loan can be used to convert a signle family dwelling to 2,3 or 4 family dwellings. However, co-operative units are not eligible for the loan. A 203k mortgage can be used to rehabilitate condominium units approved by FHA, VA or FNMA. But only the interior of the condo unit is eligible to be rehabilitated; rehabilitation of the exterior is not allowed.

There are quite a number of lenders in this community who offer FHA loans in Indiana. You can seek a no-obligation free mortgage consultation with the community lenders. They will assess your credit scores, income and other eligibility factors and will let you know if you can qualify for a 203k loan.
