FHA 203k Renovation Delays

FHA 203k Renovation Delays

Member since 2024 · 2 posts · 1 vote

Hey! First time poster here and new investor, appreciating any advice in this new and scary world.

My project, a conversion of a single family unit to a multi-family unit, is delayed by about 5 months. 2 months of the delay is due to my mortgage company.

My original mortgage company transferred the mortgage to a different mortgage company early on, and did not give me the required 15/30 day notice. I was ignored by the first mortgage company when requesting the initial payments for the architect/engineer and permits for a month, and then ignored by the second mortgage company for another month. Is there anything that I can do to request a freeze on two months of the mortgage payments which are a lot for me? I asked the mortgage company and they keep transferring me from one person to another and ultimately told me the mortgage terms are what they are. It doesn’t feel right.

    I don’t know any bank that will pause/freeze your mortgage payments for a situation like yours.

    Before your loan closed, did you roll into the mortgage 6 months of your mortgage payments?

    If this situation is truly how you describe it, you should get in touch with a lawyer and file suit.

    Yes, I rolled my first 6 months of payments into the loan. And I spoke with a lawyer but I’d rather avoid litigation. It just feels like the mortgage company bounced me around to no one in charge when I asked about it
