Andrew Miller Looking For On Guidance On an FHA 203(k)

Make sure you’re working with a lender who has experience with 203(k) loans and a contractor who understands the program’s requirements.2.Loan Process Can Be Slow – Unlike a standard mortgage, the lender will be heavily involved in the renovation funds, which means more paperwork and potential delays.3.Strict Repair Guidelines – The work has to improve the home’s safety and livability, so luxury upgrades usually don’t qualify.4.Living Through Renovations – If you go with a Limited 203(k) (up to $35K in repairs), it’s usually manageable, but for a Standard 203(k), major work might require you to live elsewhere for a bit.It’s a solid strategy, just make sure you’re working with the right lender and contractor so things go smoothly.
