Horsham Real Estate Mortgage & Refinancing Loans: 203K Loan started

203k REHAB RENOVATION LOAN

THE BEST GOVERNMENT LOAN PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BUY A

HOME IN NEED OF REPAIRS OR UPDATING AND FINANCE THE REHAB COSTS!

When a homebuyer wants to purchase a house in need of repair or modernization, the homebuyer usually has to obtain financing first to purchase the dwelling; additional financing to do the rehabilitation construction; and a permanent mortgage when the work is completed to pay off the interim loans with a permanent mortgage. Often the interim financing (the acquisition and construction loans) involves relatively high interest rates and short amortization periods. The FHA 203(k) program was designed to address this situation. The borrower can get just one mortgage loan, to finance both the acquisition and the rehabilitation of the property. To provide funds for the rehabilitation, the mortgage amount is based on the projected value of the property with the work completed, taking into account the cost of the work.
