If you are purchasing a foreclosure in Maryland, and plan to do rehabilitation then your best bet is to get an FHA 203-k loan.  For many, buying a foreclosured property can present certain challenges:

Challenges:

  • Sale is “As Is” 
  • Seller Not Willing to Fix or provide Needed Repairs
  • Standard FHA Financing Not Available
  • Buyer’s Concerns About property
  • Lack of Funds For Repairs

The advantages and benefits of an FHA 203-k loan can overcome all of the above challenges.

Advantages:

  • Can Finance up to 110% of “as completed” value
  • Solves seller’s unwillingness to fix or Repair Items
  • Solves buyer’s concern on the condition of property
  • Financed up to $35,000 in limited improvement types
