Why 203(k)? • This is HUD’s primary program for the repair and rehabilitation of single family properties. • The Federal Housing Administration 203(k) Program allows borrowers to purchase or refinance their home and include the costs to repair or rehabilitate it in the same loan. • When buying a house that needs modernization, homebuyers usually have to follow a complicated and costly process. The interim acquisition and improvement loans often have relatively high interest rates, short repayment terms and a balloon payment. BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAM: • The FHA 203(k) can help borrowers: • Offer a solution that can help borrowers obtain financing that covers both the acquisition and rehabilitation of the property • Help borrowers save time and money • The FHA 203(k) can help you: • Expand your market reach • Increase your loan origination volume • Help borrowers find affordable financing and realize the dream of homeownership 3

Tips and Reminders (1)… • Make sure all impacted parties understand the draw process – Consultation Call prior to docs • When the first and all subsequent draws are made • How many draws are allowed – maximum two (2) for Streamline 203(k) • Title must be clear before final payment is made • FMC does one Title update - $100 cost; Any mechanics lien must be cleared • Title Reports – With regard to any notice that the property is substandard on the prelim, processing needs to submit documentation such as contractor’s bid and/or work write up to the title company so title can clear the substandard note and issue a clear title. • Notify Title and Escrow UP-FRONT of the 203(k) Transaction • Choose a Title Company that will provide a 122 Endorsement. Eg., • Chicago Title • ServiceLink • First American Title Insurance • Holdback funds are not released until ALL work is completed • Construction must begin within 30 days on FHA 203(k) Streamlined loans. (Weather related and/or other delays are not normally allowed). • Licensed Contractor – Work must be done by a licensed contractor. Borrower can do his/her own work only if a licensed contractor themselves. 28
Tips and Reminders (2)… • Contractors Itemized Estimates – Make sure there is one in the file. They must show material and labor separately and be legible and total up correctly. • FHA 203(k) Forms – Must be in the loan file and must be completed; do not submit signed blank forms. • FHA 203(k) Worksheet – Must be in the loan file and must be completed and accurate; incomplete worksheets are not acceptable. • Discount Points - Total AMOUNT of discount points on Rehab portion (which can be financed as part of the total rehab) cannot exceed total AMOUNT of discount points on the non-rehab portion. • Supplemental Origination Fee – All 203(k) loans must include this fee – this is NOT OPTIONAL! Charged for handling rehabilitation process ($350 or 1.5% whichever is greater). • Cost Consultant – When using a consultant, include their invoice to determine if it needs to be included in the rehab amount or not. • Rehab Amount (Line B14 of 203(k) Worksheet) – Must be included in First Base so it’s reflected on the DOT and funds to close are as accurate as can be. • Details of Transaction (In DU/DO) – must include the Rehab amount. • Utilities – Appraiser needs to mention that utilities are on; otherwise loan cannot be done as a Streamline 203k.
Tips and Reminders (3)… • Termite Report – If termite report shows section 1 items need to be completed, they need to be itemized on the work write-up. • Line B-14 of 203(k) Worksheet – Make sure the amount reflected here includes the total rehab loan amount. Must include contractors estimates and all the rehab costs so if you’re doing a Streamline 203(k), the total amount here cannot exceed $35,000; if it does, loan cannot be done as a Streamline 203(k). • Contractor’s License – Must be current and valid; cannot be expired. Must be current through the end of construction. 6 mos minimum for Streamline. Use the link on the Resource page to check. • Pool – Can finance up to $1,500 to repair an existing Pool. Pool must be filled prior to closing; cannot be empty. • Health/Safety Items – The appraiser can list the health/safety items that require repair, and they should all be on the contractors estimate. The appraiser should also list any health/safety items NOT addressed in the contractor’s estimate, then the cost estimate would have to be revised to include any additional health/safety items noted by the appraiser. • Process Flow – Follow the Process Flow in place when doing 203(k) loans. Try to always get a Contractor’s Estimates first BEFORE the appraisal is ordered. This will eliminate the Appraiser asking for health/safety issues to be cleared before closing and the constant back and forth causing unnecessary delays. • Related Contractors – NOT ALLOWED at FMC. See Borrower Identity of Interest Form for HUD rule. 30
