I have the realator telling me that it's easy, but if it's that easy why isn't everyone doing it? I made an offer to the owner for $40, 000 as is. It basically needs an inside make over. I am hoping I can qualify for an additional 25k to do so with. I also have a check in collections right now. I am working on clearing that up as soon as tax season comes. _________________ Need help choosing the right loan? Get free consultation from community lenders/consultant

There are FHA insured 203(k) loans provided through approved mortgage lenders which can be used for fixer-uppers. As a buyer you will have to execute a sales contract which should mention that you are looking for a 203(k) loan. It should also be mentioned that the contract relies on loan approval based on additional required repairs.

In order to qualify for this type of loan, you should have your monthly housing costs limited within 29% of your gross monthly income. You should be able to prove our job stability and reliability. By this I mean that you should be holding a steady job for at least 2 years with the same employer. If you have gone through any foreclosure or bankruptcy, it should be at least 3 years old. Thanks, Caron.

It is not for someone looking to buy an investment property. _________________ Loans: Investors, Residential, Commercial - All States
