The document summarizes the FHA 203(k) mortgage program, which allows home buyers to finance both the purchase and renovation/repair costs of a home in a single loan. It describes how buyers can purchase distressed properties and make necessary improvements to expand homeownership opportunities. The program offers affordable financing options for buyers looking to purchase homes needing repairs or existing homeowners financing renovations. It provides guidelines on borrower eligibility, financing terms including loan-to-value ratios, rehabilitation amounts and costs that can be included, and the renovation process including contractor requirements and fund disbursements.

13. The loan- to -value is based on
the lesser of:
· The sales price or “as is” appraised value
plus cost of rehabilitation
· or
· 110% of “as completed” appraised value -
Max LTV is 96.5%

14. Determining the Maximum Loan Amount
EXAMPLE: purchase of a 1 unit property with 96.5/96.5% LTV – owner occupied only
-
Purchase and Renovation Costs
Sales Price (“as is” appraised value) $ 120,000
Labor/Material $ 24,500
Soft Costs (HUD Consultant, Inspection Fees, Title Updates) $ 2,200
Contingency (utilities functioning – 10% required) $ 2,670
Monthly PITI (Full 203k only) $ 0
Total for Purchase and Renovation $ 149,370
“As is completed” value (determined by appraiser) $ 160,000
Value to use for determination of LTV must be the lesser of the sales price or “as is” appraised value plus cost of
rehabilitation minus sales concessions, or 110% of the “as completed” appraised value. In this example, $149,370
is less than 110% of the “as completed” appraised value of $176,000, therefore the value you must use when
determining the maximum loan amount is $149,370.
Maximum Loan Amount at 96.5% LTV $ 144,142

15. Used to cover health, safety and unplanned
issues that arise during construction
• Required on Standard and Streamline 203k
* A minimum of 10% of the cost of rehab and
maximum of 20% a 15% contingency will be
used if utilities are not on at time of inspection
If not used (after all construction is complete)

OR Used to make other improvements (additional
approval is required)
• Upgrade flooring, tile, paint, etc

• Draw amounts may vary and are
based on the work performedA
10% reserve is withheld on each
draw – a “holdback”“Holdback”

17. • After the loan is purchased
• 50% of the rehabilitation funds are
disbursed 4-6 weeks after close
• For borrowers doing the work
themselves, a self-help agreement is
required before any funds are
disbursed – the check is made payable
to the borrower
