President Obama’s Making Home Affordable Program has helped hundreds of thousands home owners refinance their home and save money every month even though their homes had very little equity or their home was worth less then what was owed. 

Current home owners that have little or no equity anymore may be eligible to get a lower interest rate, saving you money every month under this program.  Contact us today to see if you are eligible to save money every month under this program.  The process is simple and it only takes a couple of minutes. 

So what exactly is the FHA 203K loan and how can it help you?  The Section 203(k) program is HUD’s primary program for the rehabilitation and repair of single family properties.  This loan can be used for repairing a home you wish to purchase or one you already own by refinancing your property. 

There are two types of 203K loans, the Streamline and the full version.   How do you know if you will only need the streamline instead of the full version of this loan?  Simple, if your repairs are under $35,000, you are not doing any structural changes, and the work can be completed in less than ninety days, then the streamline is for you.  If not, you will need to use the full version of the 203K which gives you more time to complete repairs or changes, you’re not limited to $35,000 in changes, and you will need to take on a 203K consultant to assist in managing the project. 

203K loans can be a great option when buying a home that needs some repairs as so many homes currently in the market do.  As construction financing has generally dried up, this remains a terrific option when considering doing improvements on your existing home.
