If you need to fix the property, it is better to go Conv or go straight to the FHA 203K loan (light rehab loan).

We have done alot of deals the way Joel outlines, however we see a difference in what we do- light rehab (we refer to it as CAPX, which is the items HUD will require us to upgrade and repair before we can stablize and refinance the asset)- and Rehab is what I think Joel is referring to- total rehab from the studs up (which we would only do in a tax credit asset or 501(3)C bond deal for a nonprofit asset -it is very costly & time consuming).We have found that when you start rehabbing multifamily one thing is always true- always expect to spend more than you budget.

What of the basements lights.
