FHA loan to buy a house that needs work.?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

My brother was approved for 0,000 through an FHA loan, 3% down payment, he offered the full asking price for a house that is in foreclosure (9,900). Its been on the market for 3 months and the price has been lowered twice. (3,071sq ft. 4bd/3.5 on 4.2 acres)
The last owners, took all the light fixtures, all the doors, and made some holes on the walls. The property is full of garbage and overgrown shrubs, but no hurt or anything that will have to be fixed, just cleaned up.
I’ve been reading about FHA loans, and most people say that properties that need work can not be bought with an FHA loan. Is it right?
We have family and friends that work in construction, so we would be doing all the repairs.. Won’t go over ,000.
We were told by our realtor, that we would get a respond from the bank in about 5 business days…

What are your thoughts on this?

This is in central California, where most home prices have fallen by 50%

need help we’re buying a foreclosed home. issue: new main and other drain pipes is exposed in the bsmt .?

Friday, June 26th, 2009

This home is perfect! or nearly perfect. Homes in the surrounding area or in the same subd are sold. Except for this one. The outside looks awesome. backyard is fantastic. Interior is fantastic. roof is newer. walls have no holes. no missing doors or broken glass.
issue 1. No fridge. 2. the previous owner installed a new main drain pipe – pvc pipe that collects dirty water from sink in the kitcken, tub, toilet… It's in one room in the bsmt. it's about 4 inches radius. vertical from ceiling to flooring. the walls behind it are drywalled and painted. in the ceiling is drywalled. but collector pipes from the sink, tub, toiled are also exposed. they grew out of the drywalled ceiling into the main drain pipe. the rest of the area are drywalled.
It nearly look like that the pipes are for decoration. they're painted black. walls behind them are painted red. looks like they were done professionally though. no leaks. the room is fully finished!
I told my realtor that I could get a used fridge just so appraiser will have no issue with that. But what should I do with the drain pipes that are coming out of the ceiling and a main drain pipe standing like a decor in one of corner of the room in the bsmt. oh also the sump pump pipe and hole is sitting in another finished room next door.
We reckon the previous owner was a hispanic family and had the bsmt separated into rooms so people can sleep in there.

please advice.
we still like the house. but we just want to make sure that we can still get FHA loan. we got pre-approved for a FHA loan in VA.

thanks

FHA 203k loan a good idea?

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

We are pre-approved on another FHA loan and found a house we absolutely like. But, there is some work to be done on the outside of the house (foundation on the corner, filling in holes, etc) that we had quoted at 00. The house is being sold at less than we are approved for, but the loan would not be approved because of the hurts. Would the 203k loan be what we need to get the house and what is the process?

FHA Mortgage Loan Default?

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

My husband and I were forced to relocate. We rented out our home that was an FHA guaranteed mortgage. The home was ruined (literally more hurt than the property is worth). We are unable to repair or rent out. We made payments for some time, but are no longer able to do so. We did not qualify for forebearance or special programs as we did not live there. We attempted to sell, even at a reduced amount and had no luck. 6 months on the market, and not one interested person. Attorney letter stated that the home is going to auction. What happens after this? If it's auctioned for ,000 but we owe ,000 —does my mortgage insurance cover the balance or do I fax wage and IRS garnishments? Please do not answer if you are speculating on what will happen. I would like a response from someone who has a factual answer. I realize that foreclosure is not a responsible thing, but given our situation, there is no other option —so, you don't have to tell me that either. Thanks!
The home was rented by advice of Midland Mortgage Company. We did not qualify for help because our income decreased. We were FORCED to relocate to seek specialized medical care for my son – thank you.
The home was ruined due to ignorance by the renter. They paid the mortgage and made minor repairs per their contract. We made no money from it. But, they weren't handy people. Their work to the plumbing resulted in a collapsed sewer line. The roof leaked & leaked & leaked and I was not told. I would have filed an insurance claim on that. This caused roof and raftor hurt as well as wall hurt inside the home (structural walls). Should I go on… In addition, after abandonment of property, I learned that the home was subject of a drug bust in which a fantastic deal of what one would call cosmetic hurt occured. Home had hidden "compartments" cut into walls. The walls now have holes all in them. The ceiling has holes as well as the law enforcement officer entered the attic and broke through in a few places. I could go on forever, but I reckon you get the point. Now homeowners insurance will cover this malicous hurt.
This was our primary residence for 2 years. So, before we rented it out, we got permission from the mortgage company and followed all the mortgage companies guidelines for renting. Thank you Lisa
Texas — refinancing not an option due to son's increasing medical bills. Refinancing would be a temporary solution. I still could not salvage the home for the amount of hurt — yes, that's our fault — not the mortgage companies — but unfortunate situations strike most of us unperfect people.
