Here’s a look at the highlights of what a 203(k) consultant does during the home purchase transaction.

Once you decide to buy a fixer-upper, a 203(k) consultant would inspect the property and talk with you about both the repairs that will be required to meet HUD’s Minimum Property Standards and the optional renovations you would like to make beyond the required items.

The consultant then prepares paperwork that the lender uses to determine the loan amount and underwrite the loan. This paperwork typically includes the feasibility report, architectural plans, and a work write-up that reflects specifications on all of the repairs that will be done, including:

  • cost of materials and cost of labor for each repair,

Drones do have many uses, and inspecting the roof would be a great one, especially after a snow.

I do not use a drone...yet. But I can certainly see the benefit of having this technology available when the roof is not safe to access by foot because of slope, condition or weather. Really no excuse not to have this option available for my business, other than the cost and learning curve. I'm going to look into it.
