  • 1-4 unit owner occupied homes eligible
  • Condos eligible
  • Can be combined with HUD REO properties, other REO properties, or properties that are not foreclosures!
  • We use post-rehab. appraisals, so no equity is needed!
  • Up to 110% post rehab. value!

Types of improvements include:

  • Roofs, gutters
  • Heating and cooling systems
  • Plumbing
  • Electrical
  • Minor remodeling such as kitchens, baths
