Keep in mind that FHA loan limits apply to the total maximum amount of loans, including repairs, can not exceed the maximum allowed by county in the state. For example, in Maricopa County, 2009 temporary FHA loan limit is $ 346,250. Contact me if you are looking to sell in other counties in our state.
Regulated FHA 203 (k), the maximum amount allowed for repairs is $ 35,000.
for a minimum standard and is decorated $ 5,000.
What if the borrower can not take home during all or part of the repair?
for a standard FHA 203 (k) loans, up to six months of mortgage payments (to drink) may be included in the cost of rehabilitation and stored in a rehabilitation escrow account when the property was not occupied during construction. This option is not allowed on FHA Streamlined 203 (k) because it does not allow the borrower displaced from the property for more than 30 days during construction.

How are loans paid?
the full amount of the loan should be paid at closing. Funds reserved for rehabilitation will be placed in interest for the repair escrow account and the rest will be used to purchase property or refinance existing loans. Here's an example of how the process works:

amount to purchase or refinance
$ 175,000
