Renovation Lending
The main concept behind these loans a.k.a Rehab, Renovation, 203k and Home Improvement loans is quite simple, clients who wants to finance the costs of home improvements through the mortgage for a purchase or refinance.
Financing the costs of the home improvements through the mortgage can be cheaper than high interest credit cards, emergency savings and high interest unsecured loans.
Don't worry about the appraised value if the house is in bad shape, the loan is based on the after improved value of your improvements.
Typically these loans can close in 30-45 days, with contract work started within 30 days of closing.

Renovation programs are great for 1st time home buyers providing solutions for needs and wishes into reality.
With Foreclosures and short-sales on the rise, many homes on the market need a lot of T.L.C and most of the time the previous owner had not taken complete care with the home, this is repair the 203k loan can shine for you.
Remember, not all Mortgage Professionals offer 203k Loans. Consult with a Renovation Specialist who can guide you through the decision in Streamline vs Full Renovation. By the way...I offer both :)
