Completeing Your Dream Home with the FHA 203K Loan!

Another challenge with the existing home inventory on the market is the condition of the property.  Whether it is REOs, foreclosures, short sales, or not, less people are presenting homes for sale in pristine condition.

The FHA 203k loan can help. The 203k can give the buyer the ability to have one loan to purchase and renovate their home at the same time.

Similar to a traditional mortgage with a construction loan added on top, the 203k can be used for the following:

• Remodeling bathrooms and kitchens (even built-in appliances) 
• Replacing a roof, gutters and downspouts
• Adding a second story, afamily room,another bath, etc.
• Completing a basement or attic
• Upgrading plumbing, heating, air conditioning or electrical service
• Installing new siding, energy efficient windows and doors
• AND MUCH MORE!

It is important to hire a general contractor that is familiar with the 203k process and requirements.  Advanced Restoration Corporation, a 203k contractor, was recently featured on NBC News4 New York regarding 203k loans, along with Continental Home Loans.

FHA 203k Loans Featured on NBC News4 New York!

NBC Reporter Lynda Baquero and 

Gary Matzelle from Advanced Restoration Corp.

On Monday, October 5th, NBC News4 New York featured a story on FHA 203k loans.  The  parties interviewed included Advanced Restoration Corporation, Continental Home Loans and a homeowner from Suffolk County, New York.

The homeowner in this story utilized the 203k loan program to renovate a home (located in   Medford, New York)  which needed $74,000 in repairs/restoration.  The Section 203(k) program is HUD's (Housing and Urban Development) primary program for the rehabilitation and repair of single family properties.

With a 203k loan, the borrower can get just one mortgage loan, at a long-term fixed (or adjustable) rate, 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.
