NJ FHA 203k Success Story- Yep we did it again!

By
Mortgage and Lending with AnnieMac Home Mortgage NMLS #38670

Its starting to sound like a bad Britney Spears song (sorry to all you Britney fans out there) but ...We Did It Again.

Britney Spears...Oops I did it again!

We took a wonderful NJ couple and showed them the power of the FHA 203k mortgage program.  We showed the customer once again that by using this mortgage program that you can buy a home in NJ, PA, DE, or any of the 27 states that AnnieMac Home Mortgage is licensed in to create INSTANT EQUITY.

Amazing Isn't It?

Everyday we watch the news and see that home values continue to drop, foreclosures are up and short sales are dominating the market.  Yep- it's true that all of this is a constant reminder of the mortgage meltdown and what is wrong with the banking industry but the FHA 203k renovation mortgage is a mortgage that is allowing us to help families to see that there is a light in the mortgage marketplace.  By using this mortgage our customer created over $85,000 in equity.....you did read that right $85,000. Amazing isn't it?

The Details

OK- so how did this person get such an amazing deal in NJ?  Well they found a bank owned property- not all that hard in this environment.  All you need is a good NJ Realtor and they should be able to help you find good properties for this program (and if not email me- I have a list of good Realtors all over the 27 states we are licensed in).  Then they got a FHA 203k Consultant to do a work writeup on what work was needed to get the property up to FHA minimum property standards.  The Realtor had already worked up comparable's of what the property would be worth once the work was all complete:

Property Purchase Price $90,000
Repair Work                $31,000
Costs, Escrows, Etc      $14,000
Total                                $135,000
 
 
After Work Completed Value Per Appraisal $220,000
 
 
INSTANT EQUITY  $85,000
 

Equity Built- Now What?

Well now that the home has been bought and the closing is complete the contractor starts his work and within 6 months the borrower will be moving into there new dream house.  The great part about this is- besides the incredible equity that we built- 6 months of mortgage payments were escrowed so that the client could live in there current apartment and not have to make 2 payments out of there pocket.

So contact me or one of my team and we will work with you to show you the power of the FHA 203k Renovation Mortgage in NJ, PA or any other state that AnnieMac Home Mortgage is licensed in.

The 203k loan is an under-utilized tool. Many buyers could create equity by using the FHA/203k loan to buy and renovate homes that need some work.
