203k: Everyone has their fingers in my buyers wallet ..... - 08/04/11 04:56 PM
Everyone has their fingers in my buyers wallet ......I've got a recent deal going FHA where we switched from the standard FHA 203B to a 203K loan.  To me it seemed pretty easy but I knew that the transfer would probably be a problem. Buyer took it all in stride because they really didn't understand what was going to happen to them next.  Loan officer requests a 30 day extension.  Hmmm, seems a little excessive asking for 30 days?  I started to pop off angry emails asking what he'd done for the past 45 days that we needed another 30 day … (10 comments)

203k: Schaumburg Homes - First Time Home Buyers have FHA Loan Changes - 01/22/10 01:43 PM
FHA announced changes - how will it effect me as a buyer? OK, what I'll do is try and explain the 'new rules' for an FHA mortgage ~
The upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) will increase to 2.25 percent up from 1.75 percent. Contrary to reports, FHA will continue to allow the financing of the UFMIP. Buyers will now be charged more for mortgage insurance in case of default.  It will now cost $4500 on a $200,000 home.  ($4500 vs. $3500 = $1000 difference)  In actuality, it will not make much of a difference in your monthly payment.  In certain circumstances, … (4 comments)

203k: REO'S and Foreclosures - Think they could possibly be for you? - 12/02/09 03:48 PM
REO's and Foreclosures - Think they could possibly be for you? I just sold and closed two foreclosures recently and the two sales couldn't have been more completely opposite!  One needed work (203k) from head to toe - you know the kind you hear about where the seller decided to cut parts of the furnace out of the unit!  The other was fabulous with a remodeled kitchen and 42" maple cabinets.  That one needed painting and new carpet but needed minor TLC.  It had the best location backing up to a pond!  What did these buyers both have in common?  
They … (6 comments)

203k: Schaumburg Homes for Sale - Need a rehab loan? - 04/29/09 03:11 PM
What a difference a ‘K’ makes?  This is about the ‘Renovation Loan’ called the FHA 203K and how it can be used to purchase a home in need of 'a little help’.

The 203K Loan is:
Perfect for REO’s and foreclosures. Used to purchase and close on a home in ‘as is’ condition.  Usually getting a better sales price. No repairs required prior to closing; no appraisal issues.  The house must be sound and is used for minor repairs and cosmetic changes that you would like to do to the property and don’t have the ready cash to do it. There … (0 comments)
