The FHA 203k Renovation Mortgage - St. Louis Missouri

February 13th, 2020 4:58 PM by Bob Rutledge

The housing marketing in the St. Louis Missouri area is getting more and more difficult for home buyers, the most recent statistic I saw for certain areas of St. Charles and St. Louis County showed homes on the market for only 17 days! We are starting to see Open Houses that have dozens of potential home buyers attending and multiple offers on homes their first day going onto the market. Speed, Agility, and paying very close attention to new homes coming to market is most new home buyers best methods to stay ahead of the game. But, many home buyers have a secret weapon, a weapon that allows them to consider ALL homes on the market creating a better home buying experience.

THE FHA 203K YOUR SECRECT WEAPON

The FHA 203k is a renovation mortgage program that will provide you with the funds to not only purchase your new house but also fix it up to make that house your home. The FHA 203k is becoming the secret weapon of choice for many first time home buyers because it helps them consider every house for sale in the area or location they consider their first choice. No longer do they have to settle for a house, no longer do they have to turn away from a house that needs some repairs or even a lot of repairs, and no longer do they have to scratch off AS IS houses.

Imagine finding that near perfect house, it is located in the area you want, the house is what you want, it is close to work, good schools, and play, the it has more rooms than you need, it is everything you want except..... The FHA 203k will fix that except for you and fix it to what you want!

Because you are not competing for a house that many others want you have more ability to negotiate the sales price, negotiate closing costs, and get more home for possibly less money. The FHA 203k should be your secret weapon if you are looking for a house in the St. Louis and St. Charles area or even nearby.

The FHA 203k is just one of many renovation home loans, if you would like to learn more about the FHA 203k in St. Louis Missouri, I have a lot of information at my website, https://www.bobrutledge.com/fha-203k-renovation-St.Louis.

Another option is the conventional counterpart to the FHA 203k, the Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation Mortgage, there are many similarities to the two programs, the biggest differences is that the HomeStyle has a higher loan limit, requires a little more for down payment, and limits the renovation costs.

If you are eligible for a VA mortgage, thank you, there is a VA Renovation Home Loan that can help tweak that house you are looking at. The VA Renovation Mortgage will not allow for anything really major and limits you to $35,000 in renovation costs but it can help.

At my website you can read about the Renovation Equity Plan and how a renovation mortgage is helping new home buyers build instant equity in their new home. There is a Renovation Mortgage FAQ that should help to answer all your questions.

I would welcome the opportunity to work for you as your mortgage loan officer, I can get you approved for any mortgage plus any renovation mortgage, go into your home search with more.
