about a 20% equity increase (amounts can differ and
depend solely on the buyer’s abilities) in value when

original structure is the foundation.

repairs in their renovation loan. What does this mean and
how does it work?

4. So what is an FHA 203K Loan
and why use one?
When a buyer wants to buy a home that needs repairs utilizing most
Conventional or FHA financing, normally the repairs would have to be
completed prior to the closing of escrow and the repairs would fall on the
responsibility of the existing owner. With so many foreclosures in today's
market, many times these houses in need of repair are listed "as is", which in
the past required a cash buyer and cash buyers limit you opportunity to
close your sale! Not using the FHA 203K loan as your financing tool I believe is
pure misunderstanding of the program and lenders haven’t properly
educated agents on how to use this great financing tool to close the deal.
Listed below are just a few things your client can include in their FHA 203K
Streamline and so much more can be completed when using the FHA 203K
Traditional Financing.
Repair Replace of the Roofs, Gutters and Downspouts
Repair Replace/Upgrade Existing HVAC Systems
Repair Replace/Upgrade Plumbing & Electrical
Repair Replace Flooring
Updating Kitchens and Bathrooms
Painting both Interior and Exterior
Weatherization including storm window and doors, insulation, weather stripping,
etc.
Purchase and installation of built in and freestanding appliances
Accessibility Improvement for the physically challenged
Lead Paint Stabilization
Repair Replace existing/add exterior decks, patios & porches
Basement and Attic Finishing & Remodeling
Septic System and Well repair or replacement
If the property is in the right neighborhood, but doesn’t have the right
number of bedrooms or they need an extra bathroom the cost can be
included for these additions with the FHA 203K Standard Loan Financing
Program, as long as the market supports these additions. Another big plus is
your home buyers can include up to 6 months of house payments in their
loan, so they can continue living in at their current residence and not worry
about making a mortgage payment and rent! We’ll also including up to 15%
in contingency reserves just in case your client has some additional cost.
Once all the repairs are complete any money left over in reserves or built in
house payments will be applied to the principle to reduce the loan amount.

5. FHA 203K Renovation Essentials
for a Successful Closing
Step 1: Get your Client Pre-Qualified Immediately. Complete an easy Application.
Step 2: Once you have your home buyer pre-qualified we’ll reach out to you and your Home Buyer to discuss the renovation approval process.
Step 3: This step is as important as getting your home buyer pre-approved, it’s about the property. With the FHA 203K Renovation Loan the property your
home buyer selects as important a getting pre-approved. We know that Location, Location, Location is our golden rule, but these days many home
buyers are equally interested in Equity, Equity, Equity. Not giving them both can end up in a no sale. Generally, Bank Owned Properties can sell of 20 to 50
percent less that non foreclosed home in the same area and the right renovations can easily create additional equity appreciation.
When working with a Home Buyer of Distressed Homes one of the first questions they’ll have is “what’s the value I can expect to see when purchasing
these homes and the cost to renovate. You’ll need to have an in-depth discussion with your Home Buyer and with information they provide and your
experience, it shouldn’t be to difficult to come up with a projected BPO based on the homes needed repairs. Then get property inspection and
recommend your Home Buyer get at least licensed contractors to provide bids for needed repairs based on the inspection and any other items they’re
wanting to improve the property with.
This by far is the one factors that can make your closing day a pass or fail date. Many Contractors simply aren’t qualified to complete the work your Home
Buyer expects or might not be properly licensing to meet FHA requirements, I’ll review your contractor qualifications, but make sure your home buyer
covers FHA’s contractor qualifications.
FHA 203K Contractor Checklist
FHA 203K Homeowner/Contractor Agreement
FHA 20K National Consultant Roster
If you’re using and FH203K Consultant you’ll want to provide a copy of all the above mentioned documents to them for review and utilize their expertise.
FHA 230K Consultants are required for all 203K Loans, but when they are, you’ll find them to be a valuable resource for both your and the Home Buyers.
FHA 203K Consultants review your Home Buyer’s Contractors paperwork to insure it meets HUD guidelines as well as works with your Home Buyer and the
Contractors to insure all work is completed to the satisfaction of your Home Buyers and HUD.
Some items to consider when using FHA 203K financing:
Structure you offer to include up to 6% in Seller Concessions when possible. This is very common for FHA loans, and these concessions can
significantly improve your borrower financing option, pre-paid escrow s and buyer’s closing cost.
Ask for at least 60 days from time of acceptance to close your loan. Of course we’ll work hard to have your loan ready to close before the closing
date, but many things have to happen before closing an FHA 203K loan. Not only does your borrower have to get credit approved, the appraisal
and repair estimates must be reviewed and approved and escrow disbursement accounts have to be set up, so 60 days gives you some extra
cushion and sellers seldom turn their nose up to a 60 day contract for a distressed home.
Advise your client NOT to purchase any materials prior to closing, otherwise the cost of these materials cannot be included in the loan.
If bid is not accepted we can easily transfer your client’s credit documents to a new purchase agreement.

Down payment is based on the sale price PLUS the final cost
of the repairs x 3.5% and closing costs are separate as usual.

modification and stays a part of the renovation process from
early in the process until the final draw has been requested
to insure a successful renovation.
An FHA 203K consultants frees are between $400 and $1000,
depending on the work to be complete and can be
financed in the loan. This fee must be paid upfront, however
with proof of payment we’ll apply the upfront fee as a credit
to the down payment at closing.
Buyer should obtain estimates from several licensed
contractors. We recommend at least three estimates, but
not required. The Home Buyer.
If your Home Buyer is using an FHA 203K Consultant they’ll
determine the "required" repairs versus the "wish list of
repairs“ and discuss with your Home Buyers their options.
Your client must start with the required repairs as outlined by
this property inspector and then move to their wish list when
coming up with a renovation plan. This is an important step,
so that your client doesn’t over improve the home and
exceed the comparable properties in the area. Of course,
once your Home Buyer have provided us with all his bids,
well request an FHA 203K Appraisal be completed to insure
this doesn’t happen.

After closing/funding your Home Buyers can
purchase materials from the Title Company check,
they get at closing to cover the purchase of
materials and getting their renovation project
started. Of course we’ll give them reasonable
time to start and complete their renovations. As a
rule, FHA requires all renovation to begin no later
than 30 days from closing and completed within
six months.
FHA understands that renovating and daily living
don’t always go well together. Therefore, FHA
allows up to six month of Principle, Interest, Taxes
