FHA 203K Loans

Has anyone done one recently or have any experience with them? We are working with Continental Home loans and I'm going to ask my broker tomorrow about them but I was wondering how hard are they to close?

Re: FHA 203K Loans


ETA - I see you are asking about 203(k) loans. I've done them before. They are not hard to close, but they can take longer if you do a full 203(k) loan versus the streamlined version (you can do streamlined version if the amount of the renovations is low enough... I believe it has to be under $35K). But for major renovations, it does take some coordination among the FHA planner, architect, contractors, etc. And the appraisal is a bit more complex because they have appraise the house as is, and for what it will be worth post-renovations.
