203K - HUD Consultants - How and How Much are they Paid???? - 08/24/10 10:30 AM
203k Consultants...    How are they paid?
 
BIG QUESTION!
 
Here is the long and short of it.   Back in September of 1995, HUD came out with Mortgagee Letter 95-40 which outlined the charges an inspector could charge.  They were known then as a "Fee Inspector", now more commonly called a HUD Consultant.  The mortgagee letter MANDATED a bracket system for these fees as noted below:

How much money do I need to buy a house with the FHA 203K ???   Ahhh, the age old question.

2. Only 3.5% down payment is required.
