Frisco and the Surrounding Collin County home buyers should look into the FHA 203K home loan when trying to buy that short-sale or foreclosure...refinances are elgible too!!! When trying to establish the appraised value, the value will be "subject to completion". So for example: A home that has a market value of $150k because it's at the lowest end of value of it's "like" sqr footage among comparables, may get an appraisal value on the 203K loan program for $175k when it has the most upgrades and updates for the homes similar in age and square foot in it's market, even if the sale price was $150k. Now you can use that difference in $150k sale price and expected appraised value to determine the loan to value.
Maximum LTV
• Purchase: Maximum LTV is 96.50%.
• Rate/Term Refinance: Maximum LTV is 97.75%. Maximum CLTV is 100%.
HUD's $100 Down Payment homes are also eligible for this program.
Requirements for 203K purchase or 203k refinance loans below:
• All improvements must be performed by a third-party builder. Self-Help is not allowed. (builder or contractor...must be insured contractor)
• The builder’s contract must not be signed before the 5th day after the written application.
• A 10% statutory retainer must be withheld from each advance to cover any claim notices from subcontractors or suppliers. The entire retainer, representing 10% of construction costs, will be retained for 30 days after final completion. (Subcontractors and suppliers have only 30 days after completion to notify the borrower of nonpayment claims) This money is also rolled into the loan with other costs if requested by borrower, and the 10% is calculated off the amount used for fix ups and 203k specific closing fees...EXAMPLE: IF $10,000 is the amount request for fees and fix-ups, you take 10% of $10,000, which is $1,000, and roll that into the loan. If it is not used, the 10% retainer fee will be used to pay down principle of the loan.
• Subject property must be used as the primary residence...this loan IS NOT DESIGNED FOR FLIPS OR INVESTMENT PURCHASE!
