Need help - HUD/FHA 203b and 203k
I found a HUD home for sale that needs 5K in repairs. It has been approved for escrow insurance of 5k. It would be owner occupied. The home qualifies for FHA 203b and 203k loans.
I've offered 100k for the house.
I'm trying to decide whether to do conventional financing with 5% down or doing 203b or 203k loans. I've read some horror stories about 203b and 203k. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?
Thanks for any help!
