We found our dream house after a year of looking,it needs work but that’s not the problem. The house will not pass ( do to need of leveling , paint and other possible issues ) for an FHA or USDA loan. We want to do the work ourselves so an FHA Rehab loan is out of the question and we don’t have 20% to place down for a conventional loan. The house will be gorgeous with a small work. Does anyone have any creative financing thoughts or advice.

How can I get financing for an old run down house?
Friday, September 18th, 2009What does is a buyer obligated to fix with a seller’s FHA loan?
Thursday, September 10th, 2009We’re selling our house and the buyer’s realtor has come up with a nice list of things that need to be fixed before the FHA appraiser comes to appraise the house. The items include fixing the paint (where we scraped it but didn’t paint it) on a window sill outside, installing GFCI outlets in a couple locations, and fixing a cracked window (which would require replacement because of the condition of the frame.)
So – first, will the cracked window likely be flagged by an FHA appraiser (it’s a double pane, cracked on only the outside side.)
Also, *and more importantly* what is our obligation as a seller to pay for the buyer’s FHA repairs? Obviously, they could walk away, but is it reasonable to question them to pay for these repairs?
Thanks!

Thursday, August 13th, 2009so i am about to refinance, they send an appraiser out and today i get a call that the appraisal came in but there are a couple things i need to do to meet fha guidelines. under my back door there is chipped paint, and on some of the trim and door on my garage there is chipped paint. I knew about this and had plans to replace all my trim this spring with vinyl. BUT, it appears i have to scrape and paint these effected area b4 the appraisal will be valid so here is where i need help. i live in WI. right now it is below zero so my best guess is that painting is not an option so i thought about buying new trim, painting it inside and then putting it up. the problem is i don’t know how i am going to get the ancient stuff off (everything is frozen) so most likely i would cause more hurt. does any one have any thoughts? a quick fix? I also have been looking for a door for my garage side entry and can’t seem to find just a solid wood exterior door i have to cut it down nearly 10 inches so it must be plain. it is really weird that i have to do these things in order to get my refinancing but with that said i do and don’t have a clue how i will achieve it.

Saturday, July 11th, 2009What happens if The buyers back out of buying my house after they have already been approved for their mortage?
The contract to sell my house was out of attorney review 1 month ago. We passed the engineers inspection. Now the buyers have their mortgage commitment (And they wnated the closing, originally to be 14 days from today). BUT, their mortgage is contingent on (It is FHA) having the paint from around my porch, windows and foundation scraped and re-done. (It is peeling). Can they back out if they don;t want to pay to have that done? And, if they do, do I get to keep the $15,000 down-payment? I have signed the lease on an apartment and am moving ni next week! What do I do if they back out?

How do I best deal with the VA Loan Approval process about repair issues?
Thursday, June 25th, 2009I have a house I am looking at that is within my range to be able to afford monthly payments. I don’t make a lot of money, but renting has been killing me. The house I am looking at is 25% cheaper per month than my rent, allowing me to pump more money in it to pay it off quicker. I’ve been trying for over two years to be in a situation where I am not turned down instantly. I can’t afford large down payments of conventional loans, and that really only leaves me with FHA or VA loans.
The problem is, the house I am looking at has some issues that the realtor believes might have the VA appraiser turn it down. The windows weren’t taken care of by the previous owners, the paint hasn’t been done on 5 year intervals so doesn’t look excellent, and there is some cracks and dips in the driveway. The previous owners also felt the need to punch a hole in every door on their way out.
I have a Degree in Architecture and Construction. I could deal with entire walls that need to be rebuilt. These small things aren’t really even worth considering as issues to me. The problem is, these apparently might get the VA appraiser to require the Bank to make changes to the house before they approve the loan, and my realtor says there is no way the bank would do that.
I was told by my lender that the current cost for VA appraisals is 0. This equals over %0.5 of the total cost of the house i am looking at. If I could afford such a thing just to get a rejection, I would be looking at houses significantly higher in value and therefore without the issues. I should be able to borrow enough for a single appraisal from family, but the moment I question for a repeat that would be the end of any family goodwill I could expect.
So…
My question is this: Given this situation, what kinds of options are available to me? Is it possible to appeal a negative choice by a VA appraiser, expecially when it holds up the loan due to trivial repair issues? Is it possible to get financial help from the government to cover the cost of being turned down due to some silly rules about basic repair issues?
To maintain proper protection of a house and ensure a excellent envelope, protected by weather, house exteriors that are not all siding should be repainted every 5 years. Certainly interior requires it less often, but for excellent maintence of your house, paint your exteriors every 5 years. That re-opens problem 3, but problem 3 was never a problem I have, just an issue that according to my realtor could be a repair issue that might end the loan.
For problem 2, I have no problem paying for it, I have a problem paying for it and then loosing out on what could be used for useful stuff on the basis of something that is downright trivial and cheap to fix, and with an hour and a piece of wood I could fix it.
So, I guess my question becomes, if the VA underwriter rejects the loan because of something that with 10 minutes and a piece of 8×4' slice of wood I could fix, can that be appealed?
I can afford an appraisal, I just can't afford one that rejects the house for me from trivial repair.
Please note, with the 0 of appraisal fee, I can fix every problem in the house. The "broken windows" aren't the window panes, instead it is the wood around the windows not properly caulked and showing in some places mild superficial weather hurt. At the most, this would cost me 150$ and a sunday to fix, because the hurt isn't terrible at all.
Unless the appraiser finds something I didn't see, any repair issue in the house is absolutly trivial and fixed over a weekend under 0. Some of these issues, such as the windows and doors, might be more than a minor repair issue for other people, but not for someone trained in doing just that. I want to know how to get around the catch 22 of the bank not allowing me to fix the stuff, and the underwriter not approving until the issues are fixed. Quibbling over 500$ is stupid and hurts me pretty terribly. There has to be a way to get people to look at this as the situation it is, rather than "unacceptable risk because the hinge is rusted!"
