FHA 203(k) Streamline Mortgage - Why haven't you considered it?

The FHA 203(k) Streamlined Mortgage could be the best loan you aren't considering.

FHA's Streamlined 203(k) program permits homebuyers to finance up to an additional $35,000 into their mortgage to improve or upgrade their home before move-in. With this product, homebuyers can quickly and easily tap into cash to pay for property repairs or improvements, such as those identified by a home inspector or FHA appraiser.

Choice of Agent and Loan Officer is Very Important!

Not every agent or Loan officer understands the FHA 203(k) Streamlined Mortgage program, and many are not able to process it in a timely manner acceptable to many sellers. As a matter of fact many agents and loan officers do not even mention this program to their buyers. The Eagle Group has done many of these and has found a Loan Officer and Mortgage Company that fully understands and embraces the program and are able to process it locally and efficiently.
