FHA 203k Loan Process

The process is simple if you are working with the right mortgage company and team. The pre-qualification process is the same as any other loan. Once that is done the client can go pick out the property they want to buy. The client then meets with a HUD consultant at the property for the inspection and Work Write Up. You can find a HUD consultant here.

The client then gets a contractor to bid the renovation and compare those figures with the HUD Consultant. The work write-up is then prepared by the HUD Consultant and the Appraisal is ordered and completed per the renovations being done. The paperwork is then submitted to underwriting and they review and approve the loan.

The loan is then funded and funds are held and dispersed as the work is completed and inspected. Once the work is done the client has one FHA Loan and moves forward in the newly renovated home.
