Sarasota Foreclosures - Home Buyer's Financing Secret
Real estate investors (yes, even Sarasota foreclosures bargain hunters) leak secret
financing tool used to scoop up ugly properties no retail buyer ever would consider...until after the investor shines it up and scores a huge payday.
Jim is not such investor who is NOT scared off by an ugly property's as-is condition.
He possesses a secret weaponso powerful he bought a house no one else would touch.
He bought this house at a STEALa mere 84% of after repair value (ARV).
So whats this secret weapon Jim possessed allowing him to RECEIVE the $100,000 this house needed to transform it from a dump into a jewel after renovation?
If you want to STEAL a home no one else wants, not face heavy competition from rabid investors throwing cash at all offers & getting the money you need to renovate the house, you need this secret weapon.
Now it's time you get the inside scoop on this powerful secret weapon helping savvy house hunters steal great opportunities.
ITS NOT A DUMP FOR LONG.
No more suspense: Jim's and all other savvy (insider) buyers secret weapon is FHAs 203(k) program!
What is it?
Its a little-known Federal Housing Administration loan program thats been around since 1978 and its taking the fear out of as-is.
Ironically, its still a big secret.
Why?
Many mortgage lenders, experts claim, are not up to speed on itthough its been around since 78.
As I mentioned, Jim found a house in rough condition priced waaaaaaaaay below market. Why?
Its condition scared off all potential buyers, except Jim that is. Jim grabbed this property for about 74% of after repair value (ARV) BECAUSE even savvy buyers didnt know about 203ks.
Jims property clearly required about $100,000 in LEGITIMATE repairs, i.e. foundation, roof, HVAC, etc. Yep, easily $100k.
With the help of the FHAs 203(k) renovation financing loan program, Jim rolled this $100,000 repair estimate into his mortgage.
Jim KNOWS he would not have this incredible opportunity without the 203k program. In no way could he cough up $100,000 in repairs on top of his down payment & closing costs.
Key 203k Points:
1. The work has to be done within six months after escrow closes.
2. Borrowers have the option of putting up to 6 months of mortgage payments on the end of the loan if they dont want to live in the house while the work is being done.
3. Repairs must undergo stringent oversight no inflating repair costs to skim off the top.
4. FHA home loans require certain health and safety standards be met and that needed repairs identified during the inspection process be completed before escrow closes. *Minor repairs and improvements costing between $5,000 and $15,000 can be done after escrow closes for borrowers who opt for a streamlined repair program.
5. 203k also can pay for new appliances, remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, and additions as well.
As great as 203(k) financing is for some buyers; its not for all buyers. A buyer will have to work with contractors and may have to wait several months before moving in. That alone doesnt appear to many savvy, informed buyers. Further, competition for tear downs is heating up as the 203ks go mainstream.
203k is still a secret to many mortgage professionals and buyers alike.

Foreclosures - including Sarasota foreclosures - dont scare off savvy, informed buyers who negotiate even BETTER prices on houses no one else wants. These savvy, informed buyers turn around & get the money they need to renovate these homes, bringing them back to pre-distressed condition. An otherwise horrible situation turns good for the house, the neighborhood & the buyer of course.
