Interest Rates have increased since last Friday.  Smart Financial Mortgage now offers the FHA 203k Streamline Loan Program.  This program allows a buyer to finance up to $35,000 worth of repairs and upgrades into their loan amount.  Eligible improvements include Roofs, HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Flooring, Painting, Appliances, Windows, Doors and Kitchen Cabinets just to name a few.  Normal FHA qualifications apply and this program may only be used to purchase a primary residence.  Many times sellers will drastically reduce their listing price if they think the buyer will not be able to obtain a loan due to the condition of the property.  This program can enable a buyer to get a “cash buyer price” while still obtaining financing to buy and fix up the property.

As of 10/31/2008 based on a 200k Primary Residence Purchase (or a no cash out refi), 720+ Credit, Full Doc Income Verification, paying no discount points and no origination fee.  Please note, this information is intended for Real Estate Professionals.
