The reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links, geo coordinates, and text. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a chunky hand-held scanner to scan them, many modern cell phones can scan them.

How does the cell phone read the code?

The cell phone needs a QR code reader, which most of them are free from your app store. It takes literally 1 minute for someone with an iPhone or Android phone to find and install the reader

They come to us from Japan where they are very common. QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. We use QR Codes in our magazine to see the virtual tour or website of a property. Once it is in your cell phone, it will give you details about that property or business.

How QR codes work1. The QR code is scanned by a device, in this case a smart phone.

2. QR code software on the phone analyzes the image and extracts encoded information.

3. The decoded information - such as text, numbers or even website addresses - is displayed on the device.

What are QR codes?

Craigslist is a great resource for fi nding homes, unfortunately there has been an increase in scams on Craigslist involving Rentals. Renters that are looking online for a new home need to ensure that they are protecting themselves from these scammers. Follow these steps to avoid being a victim to these predators.As a client looking to become a tenant:1. Use a professional. Realtors are a great

resource to fi nd rental homes. They can also do the research to make sure the owners are legitimate. Typically these services are free, so why not use them.

2. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Always look at how much the rent is at the location of the home. Does it seem right for the area? If you are unsure do a little research around the area that the home is in to see what other homes are going for. If it is exceptionally low then this is most likely a scam.

3. Another sign would be the phone number. If you are looking for a home

in your area and the phone number is for another state or even

another country this is most

Craigslist is a great resource for fi nding homes, unfortunately there has been an

How to Avoid Rental Scams on Craigslistlikely a scam. If you are unsure you can

always call the number.4. Releasing personal information, if they

are asking for your personal information, such as your social security number or your banking information, do not give your personal information over the phone. Professional Companies that deal with renting homes will meet with you at the location of the home or their offi ce and give you an application to fi ll out. They should never ask for you information over the phone.

5. Also keep an eye out if the person is not willing, or able, to show you the home. If they own the home there is no reason why they cannot meet you there and show you the house. If someone legitimately is trying to rent out a home they are going to be willing to meet you to show the home.

6. Never wire money or send checks to anyone that you haven’t met or don’t k n o w their company. Only deal with

professionals that are local and you can meet with in

person. 7. Never pay in cash.

Always pay with a check, money order or wire. This way you have a way of tracking the money.

8. You should always receive a lease. We recommend getting a copy of it fi rst to review it and after you sign it always take a copy with you. This protects you and the owner of the property. The lease should also contain information on how to contact the property management company or owner and their address.

Craigslist is a great starting resource to help your search for a new place to live but potential renters need to be aware of the scams that could be out there. This is an increasing problem that not only affects the tenants but the owners as well. So there is always two victims when these crimes happen. So as an owner using craigslist to rent a property, here are some helpful hints to prevent these types of scams:1. Always review craigslist and watch

for potential post that have copied your information. If you fi nd that someone has done that then report it to craigslist.

2. If a potential tenant calls and reports to you that someone else is soliciting your property on craigslist, call craigslist and also report to your local authorities. Because of the increase in these type of fraud cases, most local authorities have set up task force departments to handle them. You can also call the Attorney General’s offi ce to report the problem.

3. We also suggest water marking your pictures, so that no one else can easily copy and use them.

4. Check your property weekly to make sure no one has placed signs on your property or changed the locks.

Researchers are looking at howdialing up & down the brightness, color & richness ofhousehold lighting can help regulate our circadian rhythms. Theyare the mental and behavioral changes that occur in response tolight cues over each 24-hour period.In the living room: Where people gather to watch TV or play

games, a whiter light is best. Turning off electronic devices &switching to a a softer, warmer color of yellow or orange twohours before bed will help the body get ready for sleep.

The kitchen: The quality of light for cooking is a major consideration.Lights with high-color rendering help colors pop and bring out detailsof meat, vegetables and other ingredients. It helps the food look good.

Bathroom: Rich color rendering with over 90 CRI is desirable for applying makeupor shaving. We need more light to see as we age, so a dimmable light allows peopleto adjust the lighting.

Adult bedrooms: Dimmable lights with a warmer glow are ideal to minimize thedisruption of melatonin, the hormone that makes us sleepy. It is produced when thelighting dims.

Hallways: Ultralow and warm lighting helps people navigate halls and stairs without affecting their night vision.

Question:

????????Gas is cheaper. Maybe

mortgages are too? I would like to check on financing.

What will I find?

You’ll find some good news on the mortgage front, too.

New mortgage-lending guidelines were scheduled to take effect December 1 with the largest mortgage lenders set to ease their standards in 2015.

Laurie Goodman, director of the Housing Finance Policy Center at the Urban Institute says, “The moves are going to be big, but it will take time to see the full impact of the changes.”

The Urban Institute estimated that new lending standards could make it possible for as many as 1.2 million additional home loans to be made annually if mortgage availability returns to “normal” levels.

Lenders say borrowers should begin to see changes soon, including faster processing times for mortgage applications. Currently, it can take two months or longer between when the application is made and when the loan is made.

New types of borrowers that lenders will accept include those with somewhat lower credit scores. Lenders will give greater leeway if a credit history suffered because of one-time events, such as a job loss or big medical bill.

Economists have maintained that tight credit could be holding back the housing recovery and dampening economic growth.

It’s likely that more mortgages will be granted under the new guidelines to those with credit scores of 640 to 699 and even with scores of 620 to 639. The new guidelines are going to be permanent, not temporary.

Experts say you will see banks expand their criteria, but some lenders are still too hesitant due to the constantly shifting regulatory environment to ease credit very soon.

With the number of short sales and foreclosures on the market, many in need of repair or upgrades, renovation loans may give you the perfect opportunity to own the home you’ve always wanted. Renovation loans allow you to shop for and purchase a home in your desired buying area and in your price range, but that may need a new roof, upgraded bathroom ,new kitchen, windows, etc. Renovation loans can help you get a great deal, and make a good house GREAT!

Unlike many lenders, Prospect offers a full line of renovation mortgages. Here are a few basics to help you understand the difference.

Prospect customers benefit tremendously from our internal Draw Department. We are able to disburse initial draws (payments for renovation work) within 12-14 business days from closing. This quick disbursement time allows us to provide funding for work to begin more quickly than other lenders who do not manage the draw process. As a result, you’ll have the peace of mind you need, knowing that our Draw Department is providing world-class service every step of the way.

AGE OF HOME:

0-12 YearsAs you might expect, newer homes generally experience the fewest problems or defects. However, the survey does point to some areas which can be of concern, even in a new or newer home.

AGE OF HOME:

30+ YearsWhile the expression “they don’t build them like they used to” has some truth behind it, older homes generally need more repairs — due to normal wear & tear and aging. It’s interesting to note that in selected categories, the often simpler systems in older homes hold up well.

ROOF REPAIR

ALUMINUM HOUSEHOLD WIRING

INSULATION

CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM

FOUNDATIONS

AGE OF HOME:

13-29 YearsHomes in this age range tend to require more repairs than newer ones. In a few categories, homes in this age group actually score worse than older homes. This is generally because systems in these homes are nearing the end of their useful service life, while in the older homes these systems will have been replaced.

HUD has recently changed the way they market their HUD foreclosed homes. They are trying to upgrade their image and they do not want to their foreclosed homes to be lump in with the other “bank foreclosures”.

You still have to place your bid for a HUD foreclosed home on the Internet and you still have to use a Realtor. So, for the homebuyer that part is pretty much the same as before.

But, the most important thing is they are still going to offer the HUD $100 Down Payment Incentive in most parts of the country!

The normal down payment for FHA Home Loans is 3.5% and for conventional loans the down payment is up to 20%. Most people that want to purchase a home really don’t have a lot of money available for a down payment so they are left out of today’s home market. But everyone should be able to come up with hundred dollars for a down payment.

But this is a government program and there are, of course, some strings attached. You have some requirements in order to take advantage of this $100 down payment program.

The $100 Down Payment Program Has the Following Requirements:

1. HUD Foreclosed Homes Only! This FHA $100 Down Payment Loan is for the purchase of HUD foreclosure homes.

2. Have to use FHA financing. You cannot use conventional financing.

3. This program is for Owner-Occupants only, not for Investors. You have to sign a form at closing stating you are going to live in the property and not use it has an investment such as a rental property.

4. You still need to have the earnest money of $1,000 for properties listed above $50,000 and $500 for properties listed for less than $50,000. Earnest money will be returned to you at closing as a credit on the Closing Statement.

5. You can ask HUD to pay for closing costs up to 3% of purchase price.

If you are going to buy a home in the near future, you need to consider HUD Homes with this HUD Homes $100 Down Payment Program. This program is a national program and the perfect HUD foreclosed home could be in your area.

Listing Codes

IN - Insurable:

All properties listed as “INSURABLE” are eligible for FHA fi nancing. All requests for insurance will be under Section 203(b) of the National Housing Act Program. An interest rate will be charged on the loan and is negotiable between the purchaser and lender. The mortgage may include some mortgage insurance payments.

HUD.GOV/HUDHomesU.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

33IndyInvestorMagazine.com 33IndyInvestorMagazine.com

IE - Insurable with Escrow Repairs:

Properties listed as “INSURABLE WITH ESCROW REPAIRS” means that certain repairs (not to exceed $5,000.00) are required to meet Minimum Property Standards for an FHA mortgage. These properties can qualify for FHA 203(b) mortgages if the purchaser and lender establish a repair escrow at the closing for the completion of repairs within 50-days of the closing. This is not a gift from HUD. The sales price remains the same and is added to the mortgage. No repairs prior to closing.

UI - Uninsured:

Properties listed as “UNINSURED” means that certain repairs and or improvements are required to be eligible for an FHA 203(k) mortgage. The required repairs on most of these properties exceed $5000.00. Purchasers of these properties have the option to purchase “as-is” with cash or conventional financing. These properties are also eligible for an FHA 203(k) mortgage if the required repairs end or the improvements are completed within 90-days of the closing.

• Insured Sales:

• 50% of the deposit will be forfeited to HUD for failure to close if the purchaser is determined by HUD to be an unacceptable buyer.

• 100% of the deposit will be forfeited to HUD if the sale fails to close for any other reason.

Owner-Occupant Purchasers:

Return 100% of the deposit when:

• There has been a death in the immediate family (purchaser, spouse or children living in the same household).

• There has been a recent serious illness in the immediate family that has resulted in significant medical expenses or substantial loss of income, thus adversely, affecting the purchaser’s financial ability to close the sale.

• There has been a loss of job by one of the primary breadwinners, or a substantial loss of income through no fault of the purchaser.

• For an FHA insured sale, HUD (or a D.E. underwriter) determines that the purchaser is not an acceptable borrower. For an uninsured sale, the purchaser was pre-approved for mortgage financing in an appropriate amount by a recognized lender and, despite good faith efforts, is unable to obtain mortgage financing. “Pre- approved” means a commitment has been obtained from a recognized mortgage lender for mortgage financing in a specified dollar amount sufficient to purchase the property.

• There is other equally good cause, as determined by AM Contractor, in keeping with the spirit and intent of the above policy.

Return 50% of the deposit when:

For an uninsured sale, despite good faith efforts by the purchaser, there is an inability to obtain a mortgage loan from a recognized mortgage lender.

Forfeit 100% if the deposit when:

• No documentation is submitted.

• Documentation fails to provide an acceptable cause for the buyer’s failure to close.

• Documentation is not provided within a reasonable time following contract cancellation.

Closing Time FrameFor DEMCO & OFORI: HOMETELOS: Just exchange 45 to 30 & 30 to 45

Closing Extension PolicyALL SALES ARE EXPECTED TO CLOSE WITHIN THE APPLICABLE TIME FRAME IDENTIFIED ON LINE 9 OF THE SALE CONTRACT.

Closing Extension Request: If the closing does not occur on the specified date on line 9 of the HUD Sales Contract 9548, the Broker should contact HUD’s Closing Agent at least two weeks prior to that date to request an extension.

AM Contractors, as HUD’s Representative, may grant an extension of closing time and, if approved, each extension will be for a period of fifteen (15) days:

• Submit the “Request For Extension of Closing Date” (Extension Request form) and all the required supplemental supporting documents to HUD’s Closing Agent prior to the expiration of the sales contract.

• Documentation submitted with the extension request must establish that a closing can reasonably be expected to occur within the extension period.

• The extension request must be accompanied by a cashier’s check, money order or other certified funds in the appropriate amount and made payable to HUD. The fee is based on the Contract Sales Price:

Contract Sales Price Extension Fee

Equal to or less than $25,000.00 $150.00 ($10.00 per day)

$25,000.01 to $50,000.00 $225.00 ($15.00 per day)

$50,000.01 and over $375.00 ($25.00 per day)

• The initial 15-day extension will be provided for owner occupant purchasers, at no cost, if documentation is provided indicating that proper and timely loan application was made, that the delayed closing is not the fault of the purchaser and that mortgage approval is imminent.

• The extension fee will be retained by HUD. In the event that the purchaser closes prior to the end of the extension period, the unused, prorated portion of the extension fee will be credited to the amount due at closing.

• The approval of an extension does not obligate AM Contractor, as HUD’s Representative, to grant future extensions.

Home Inspection (Optional, but highly recommended)

There is a 15 day due diligence period. You must have FSM authorize your home inspection. You have 48 hours to complete home inspection after last utility is turned on and you must turn off utilities after inspection. When you receive written permission (executed sales contract), contact the local utility companies, and coordinate dates between them and your inspection.



Fill out a utility activation request form. The utilities are to be turned on in the purchaser’s name and at purchaser’s expense. The purchaser is responsible for the actual costs to activate, deactivate and when necessary, re-winterize the property. The purchaser must place a refundable $150 deposit, in the form of certified funds or money order. The amount is sufficient to cover these costs. This deposit is required to ensure the property has been re-winterized. It is the buyer’s responsibility and cost to re-winterize. If the property has not been re-winterized at the end of the allowable 72 hr period, this may result in a delay of closing (buyer will also be responsible for any property damage incurred).

FHA Amendatory ClauseThis addendum is not required and will not be executed on HUD sales. HUD homes are exempt from the clause.

Great school districts can pad home prices and some home buyers actively choose

the school district as much as they shop the home. For these buyers, an expensive, but smaller home or condo is worth it if their kids get in the top public schools.One tool for these homeowners is the jumbo loan, which today is easier to get. The amount of a loan that is considered jumbo, varies. In some locations, a jumbo loan might start at $417,000. In others, it could start at more than $600,000. It all depends on home values in the area. As it happens, jumbo loan qualifi cations are easing and more buyers can now qualify.According to CNN Money, rates on jumbo loans have dropped, sometimes even below rates for conventional mortgages.Down payments requirements have been reduced and even the high credit scores for the jumbos have been loosened from 700 to 650. Buyers in areas where home values are stable or rising might especially fi nd this to be true. Meanwhile, more parents willing to stretch their budgets to get their kids the best education, may qualify for a jumbo. But they might have a problem buying a house.Many jumbo borrowers still have trouble competing in markets where multiple bids and cash-only deals are commonplace, according to The Wall Street Journal. Families may also pay too much for a home, thinking they will save money on private-school tuition. Here’s what experts say about buying a home with good public schools.

Don’t overpay when you are

looking to buy in a top school district

• Your real estate agent could be your best choice for information on public school districts and home pricing.

• Defi ne your needs. School ranking alone shouldn’t drive your decision. Schools in less sought-after districts may have better college admission rates. You’ll get the house you need with the school you want.

• Private schools. A less-expensive home in a neighborhood or county that allows you to pay for a competitive private school nearby might be a better choice than tying up all your money.

• Look at up-and-coming communities. Find one built around a new school. When you do that, property taxes go up, tax receipts go up, and it’s likely to fl ow back to the school district.

IT’S A JUNGLE OUT THERE203k GUIDE

How do you turn a fixer upper into your dream home?

The Solution – the FHA 203(k) Loan!

The purchase of a house that needs repair is often a catch-22 situation, because the bank won’t lend the money to buy the house until the repairs are complete, and the repairs can’t be done until the house has been purchased.

HUD’s 203(k) program can help you with the purchase or refinance of a property by allowing you to roll-in the costs of repairs and improvements up to 110% of the after improved value of the home with a minimum 3.5% down payment.

We hope you find this 203(k) guide helpful. If you have more questions or would like to speak with a 203(k) specialist about a loan, my contact info is below. Happy House Hunting!

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), administers various single family mortgage insurance programs. The Section 203(k) program is HUD’s primary program for the rehabilitation and repair of single family properties. As such, it is an important tool for community and neighborhood revitalization and for expanding homeownership opportunities.

IT’S A JUNGLE OUT THERE


203(k) - How Is It Different?

Here’s What You Can Expect:

These are two Different 203(k) Loans Available

Most mortgage financing plans provide only permanent financing. That is, the lender will not usually close the loan unless the condition and value of the property provide adequate loan security. When rehabilitation is involved, this means that a lender typically requires the improvements to be finished before a long-term mortgage is made.

When a homebuyer wants to purchase a house in need of repair or modernization, the homebuyer usually has to obtain financing first to purchase the dwelling; additional financing to do the rehabilitation construction; and a permanent mortgage when the work is completed to pay off the interim loans with a permanent mortgage. Often the interim financing (the acquisition and construction loans) involves relatively high interest rates and short amortization periods. The Section 203(k) program was designed to address this situation. The borrower can get just one mortgage loan, at a long-term fixed (or adjustable) rate, to finance both the acquisition and the rehabilitation of the property. To provide funds for the rehabilitation, the mortgage amount is based on the projected value of the property with the work completed, taking into account the cost of the work.

Choosing which loan suits you best will depend on the amount of improvement your property needs.

Streamlined: The 203(k) Streamline is an all-in-one loan used for homes that need minor repairs. It allows borrowers to finance the purchase of an existing home and make improvements or upgrades up to $35,000 before move-in. There are no minimum repair costs and the borrower must occupy the property.

Standard: The Standard 203(k) is an all-in-one loan used when homes need major rehabilitation, or when repairs are structural, involves landscaping, or when the renovation costs exceed $35,000. There must be a minimum of $5,000 worth of repairs, and again, the borrower must occupy the property. FHA loan limits are based on property type and location

BUILDING THE BRIDGETO HOME OWNERSHIP

of the property being financed. A portion of the loan proceeds are used to pay the seller, or, if a refinance, to pay off the existing mortgage, and the remaining funds are placed in an escrow account and released as rehabilitation is completed. You may also roll in up to six months of mortgage payments if the HUD consultant determines you need to be displaced from the home during the repairs.

We will discuss both of these loans in detail but first let’s discuss the 203(k) process from start to finish.

1. Find a Property and Make the Offer - A potential homebuyer locates a fixer-upper and executes a purchase agreement or sales contract after doing a feasibility analysis of the property with their real estate agent.

2. Find a FHA approved Lender and Meet with a 203(k) Specialist - The homebuyer then selects an FHA-approved 203(k) lender and arranges for a detailed proposal from licensed contractors showing the scope of the work to be done, including a detailed cost estimate on each repair or improvement of the project.

3. Appraise the Property - The appraisal is performed to determine the value of the property after renovation. The appraiser will also determine if there are any additional repairs necessary for the property to meet minimum FHA property guidelines. Any health or safety issues would be addressed at this time.

4. Loan is Approved and Closed - The borrower, property and requested improvements are approved and the loan closes for an amount that will cover the purchase or refinance cost of the property, along with the improvement costs. The amount of the loan will also include a contingency reserve of 10% to 20% of the total renovation costs and is used to cover any overages resulting from extra work required to complete the work proposed. At closing, the seller of the property is paid off and the remaining funds are put in an escrow account to pay for the repairs and improvements during the rehabilitation period.


5. Work Begins on the PropertyThe mortgage payments and renovation begin after the loan closes. The borrower can decide to have up to six mortgage payments (PITI) put into the cost of rehabilitation if the property is not going to be occupied during construction, but it cannot exceed the length of time it is estimated to complete the rehab.

6. Disbursements & Payment (Draws) - Escrowed funds are released to the contractor during construction through a series of draw requests for completed work. To ensure completion of the job, 10% of each draw is held back; this money is paid after the lender determines there will be no liens on the property. The borrower will always approve the release of funds to the contractor.

To be eligible, the property must be a one- to four-family dwelling that has been completed for at least one year. In addition to typical home rehabilitation projects, this program can be used to convert a one-family dwelling to a two-, three-, or four-family dwelling. An existing multi-unit dwelling could be decreased to a one- to four-family unit.

A 203(k) mortgage may be originated on a “mixed use” residential property provided:

(1) The property has no greater than 25 percent (for a one story building); 33 percent (for a three story building); and 49 percent (for a two story building) of its floor area used for commercial (storefront) purposes;

(2) The commercial use will not affect the health and safety of the occupants of the residential property; and

(3) The rehabilitation funds will only be used for the residential functions of the dwelling and areas used to access the residential part of the property.

A 203(k) mortgage may be originated on a condominium provided:

(1) The condominium project has been approved by FHA

This program can be used to accomplish rehabilitation and/or improvement of an existing one-to-four unit dwelling in one of three ways:

(1) To purchase a home and rehabilitate it.

(2) To purchase a dwelling on another site, move it onto a new foundation and rehabilitate it.

(3) To refinance an existing mortgage and rehabilitate the home.

Eligible and Ineligible Improvements for the 203(k) StreamlineEligible Improvements include:203(k) Streamlined loan is intended to facilitate uncomplicated rehabilitation and/or improvements to a home. Eligible improvements include:

• Repair/Replacement of roofs, gutters and downspouts

• Repair/Replacement/upgrade of existing HVAC systems

• Repair/Replacement/upgrade of plumbing and electrical systems

• Repair/Replacement of flooring

• Minor renovation, such as kitchens & baths, which do not involve structural repairs

• Painting, both exterior and interior

Eligible Properties

How the Program Can Be Used

Features of the 203(k) Streamline

(2) Must be owner occupied (no investors)

(3) Rehab is limited only to the interior of the property

(4) The lesser of 5 units in the project or 25% of the total number of units can be undergoing rehabilitation at the same time

(5) The maximum amount of the loan cannot exceed 100% of the after improved value

(6) No more than four condo units per building


Timelines - When the loan closes, the mortgage proceeds will be disbursed to pay off the seller of the existing property and the Rehabilitation Escrow Account will be established. Construction may begin. Depending on the type of improvements the homeowner has up to six (6) months for completion.

Disbursements & Payments (Draws) - No more than two payments may be made to each contractor. The first payment is intended to defray material costs and shall not be more than 50% of the estimated costs of all repairs and improvements. The Lender will allow the first payment at closing to cover for, and not exceed, actual required contractor deposits, building permits, and/or the cost of building materials incurred prior to construction.

Before a final disbursement is made, the borrower must sign a statement acknowledging that the work has been completed in a workmanlike and satisfactory manner. A final inspection is required regardless of the improvement or repair, and must be done at completion before the final disbursement is released. Any leftover funds are applied to principal balance of the loan.

FHA Approved Consultants - All Standard 203(k) loans must use a FHA Approved 203(k) consultant. The HUD consultant will be very helpful as they will assist you in determining the scope of repairs and the budget for the work to be done. Once the project has been determined the HUD consultant will give you a “specification of repairs” plan that will detail the work to be completed and the associated costs. The HUD consultant will also carry out the disbursement and final inspections needed to pay your contractors. Basically they are there to help you through the construction process and verify all work is completed satisfactorily and as stated and that the home meets HUD’s minimum property guidelines when repairs are completed.

Contractor Requirements Borrowers must use contractors to complete rehab unless borrower can provide documented proof that they can perform the work. Example: Borrower is a licensed plumber or electrician, etc.

Timelines & Disbursements for the 203(k) Streamline

• Luxury items like swimming pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, etc.


Eligible Improvements for the 203(k) StandardHomeowners can use the 203(k) program to finance “desired” repairs or upgrades such items as painting, room additions, decks and other items even if the home does not need any other improvements.

Eligible improvements can range from relatively minor (though exceeding $5,000 in cost) to virtual reconstruction: a home has been demolished or will be razed as part of rehabilitation is eligible, for example, provided that the existing foundation system remains in place.

• Major landscaping and site improvement including correction of grading and drainage problems, tree removal and repair of sidewalks and driveway, if they are a safety hazard to the property.

Timeline - When the loan closes, the mortgage proceeds will be disbursed to pay off the seller of the existing property and the Rehabilitation Escrow Account will be established. Construction may begin. The homeowner has up to six (6) months to complete the work depending on the extent of work to be completed.

Disbursements - As construction progresses, funds are released after the work is inspected by a HUD-approved inspector. A maximum of 5 draws are allowed. Draw amounts may vary and are based on the work performed. Disbursements are made as each phase of the project is completed based on the draw paperwork provided by the

REFINANCE: Based on the lesser of: 1) The existing mortgage balance before rehabilitation, plus the estimated cost of rehabilitation and allowable closing costs or

2) The lesser of the As-Is value plus rehabilitation costs or 110 percent of the After-Improved value multiplied by 97.75%.

3. Required on properties older than 30 years and/or over $7,500 in rehabilitation costs.
