certified 203k contractors: What's the downside of FHA 203k mortgages? - 02/06/12 12:17 PM
So, I get questions all the time about this, and people always tell me, “Jeff, everything sounds great about FHA 203k mortgages, ...sounds like it’s the perfect loan for me...it does everything that I want it to do, BUT there can't be the perfect loan- there has to be something wrong!” And you're right- maybe not so much wrong, but there is a downside to anything, which is what I tell any client, realtor or contractor during our initial conversation.
