I hear people asking me all the time "why should we use a 203k or HomeStyle Renovation Mortgage over a standard construction loan? I received an email today and this is what it had for their construction loan

RATES AND FEES

• 7 to 14% to Borrower
• Servicing Fee: 1%
• Broker Points: Starts at 3.0
• Referral Fees: 2 Points Maximum

Look at that high interest rate versus the FHA and FNMA products which are currently between 4-4.5% typically. Servicing fee, what is that? How about the Broker points which quite often are "ZERO" with FHA. Plus 2 points referral fee. That in a nutshell is 7-14% interest for the borrower and 6 points up front. Not even close for our "borrower friendly" loans. If you are an investor,you should use the HomeStyle Renovation Mortgage and get a 30-year fixed rate that you are not under the gun to refinance while you look for your buyer to clear you out.
