  2. Contractors typically are used to getting 10% down at the signing of their contract, and another 30% when materials are landed at the sight. That hasn't been the case with a Standard 203k where they must work soley on their own credit and cash to get started then get "reimbursed" for each phase to get their money back.
    The "Limited 203k" loans, per the guiedline always provided 50% of the project cost for materials  up front to the contractor unless you were dealing with a lender like Wells Fargo that only allowed 35% or Prospect Mortgage at 40%. Most other lenders still provide the full 50% per the guideline. Years ago I would see B of A, close the loan and in many cases it took them up to six weeks to provide the "50% up front money". These "limited 203k" project were quite often only going to take 30 days to six weeks to complete. They finally got with the program (years ago) and started providing the money from escrow at closing.

    The new rule as it is proposed for

    Standard 203(k) transactions, Mortgagees may disburse the following at closing:

    • permit fees (the permit must be obtained before work commences [to be reimbursed at closing]);
    • prepaid architectural or engineering fees;
    • prepaid Consultant fees; [reimbursed to the borrower] [This can be added to your escrow instructions to be used as part of their down payment or closing costs too]
    • materials costs for items, prepaid by the Borrower in cash or by the contractor, where a contract is established with the supplier and an order is placed with the manufacturer for delivery at a later date; and
    • up to 50 percent of materials costs for items, not yet paid for by the borrower or contractor, where a contract is established with the supplier and an order is placed with the manufacturer for delivery at a later date
    • For any Disbursements paid to the contractor, the Mortgagee must hold back 10 percent of the draw request in the Contingency Reserve.
    This is actually a big thing. This will allow us to get reimbursed for materials... materials at 50% of their cost at the close of escrow. By paying that directly to the supplier with proper 1099 form and invoice copy for materials they can get the money at close of escrow. This should speed things up considerably for getting the big ticket items deposits paid for up front at the closing. 
    While the permits and some of the other fees has been the case for yers the 50% of some of the materials costs paid at close is going to help allow more contractors the flexibility to do more 203k projects. Technically this goes into effect Sept 14th, 2015 but many lenders are going with it right now.

  3. We have your back when it comes to remodeling

    That is just what it means to be a 203k consultant or renovation/remodel consultant. Most people don't remodel their home very often and guess who knows it? That is correct, the contractors know it and quite often they capitalize on it. 

    The task was to add a second story to this home and change from a "bungalow style" home to a 2-story "craftsman style" home with a budget of $150,000, well, it couldn't be done but I felt it could be done for $159,000 plus contingency and the borrower agreed that it was still doable so we moved forward.

    It is my job to create a scope of work and give you a bid on what I think a contractor should be charging for this specific SOR (scope of renovation) as so many lenders call it. If your consultant isn't bidding on this project before you solicit bids from the contractor(s) then your consultant ISN'T doing their job and you are not getting all of the service you are paying for.

    Next step is for us to print out the SOR without prices in it and give it to the borrower to use to solicit bids. We don't like to let this out of our control so we send it to the borrower's contractor selection with a copy to the borrower so they can see our comments to the contractor and that way we maintain control so the lender can close the loan quickly.

    Once we have a "confirmed bid" from a contractor so our bid is "validated" the appraisal is typically ordered. Many will order the appraisal with our bid paperwork as the scope of work doesn't change, only the price may change slightly.

    Now the bids come in. In this example the borrower had a contractor but she made a crucial mistake, she let the contractor know that she was so excited to have them working on her project to take this bungalow home and turn it into a "craftsman" style home. Her contractor bid the job at $298,000 versus my bid of $159,000. Yikes! What do we do now?

    That is easy. We sent it out to another contractor that neither of us had any experience with, no preconceived notions. The second bid came in at $161,000. Just 1/2% higher than my original bid. 

    Conclusion: Rest assured we have your back. When the contractor's know that they will typically bid a bit tighter in the first place.

    This has become more and more important for you since our purchase or refinance and renovation loan limits have climbed to $3,000,000. There are lots of homes in our area that qualify for these higher loan amounts. We had three last week that were purchases at nearly a million dollars plus the renovation money which is well over the FHA and FannieMae loan limits. Not a problem, we have you covered.

  4. My fixer aquisition cost is $850,000 and it needs $250,000 in work

    Just got this call... YES, we can help you.

    Chris Davis at Everbank will guide you through their process. Just click on the link for Chris' web-page. It still has to appraise for the full amount including the renovation or in this example about $1.1 Million or so.

    Last week the question was for a $745,000 sales price and $150,000 in construction. Yes, these are now doable up to $3 Million loan amount. Not the typical LTV of course but Chris will fill you in on their guidelines for this product. 

    We had one a while back that, had it been a single family home would have worked out well for the $1.5 Million purchase and $625,500 renovation project. You can see that this opens up a whole lot more homes for renovations.

    Renovation loans greater than a million $




    Remember the one we did last year for an $888,000 purchase and $150,000, this loan would have been better for the client than the 203k was able to do.

    Now you have renovation financing for those higher end home.



    REO Realtors can move more of those high end foreclosures with this loan product.
