About San Diego's Imperial Beach

FHA Streamline Rehab Loan in Imperial Beach CA 91932

Mike Walsh - Direct 858-864-8924  FHA VA USDA Jumbo Reverse Mortgage: Loan Officer in San Diego, CA

FHA 203k Streamline Rehab loans are a great way to purchase a property and revitalize your community. FHA has made the rehabilitation process easier for buyers by enabling them to finance the acquistion of the property and rehabilitation in just one transaction. There is no need for second mortgages or expensive bridge loans. The FHA 203k Streamline loan is the right loan if you are looking to purchase a home that needs a little upgrading or minor repairs.

The FHA 203k Streamline rehab loan works similiar to a regular FHA loan in terms of qualifying. A buyer must have good credit and documentable income. A 3.50% down payment is all that is required. It is a good idea to prequalify for the FHA 203k loan before you spend money on such things as an appraisal or home inspection. Click on this link to begin the prequalification process now. http://www.approvingcalifornia.com/

A buyer on a Streamline FHA 203k rehab loan may get up to $35,000 towards eligible repairs. In order to receive the FHA 203k rehab funds a FHA licensed appraiser must do an appraisal that validates the property's value after the repairs are made. For instance, if you planned on purchasing a home for $200,000 and make $25,000 in repairs then it must appraise for $225,000. Eligible properties are single families, pud's, FHA approved condos, and 2-4 unit dwellings as long as one unit is owner occupied. REO's, foreclosures and short sale purchases are permitted as well.

Eligible improvements must be permanent and add value to the property. Keep in mind that FHA 203k rehab loans are for minor remodels and are not for structural improvements. An upgrade of a bedroom or bathroom can be done on a FHA 203k Rehab loan. You may finish exterior decks, basements, attics, roofs, new siding and fences. FHA 203k rehab loans also allow for safety upgrades to HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical, flooring and appliances. Weatherizing is an acceptable improvement as well, such as adding storm windows. Ineligible improvements are anything that is considered luxury items or foundation repairs. Also, ineligble are any repairs requiring plans or architectural drawings. However, FHA 203k rehab loans allow for $1,500 in improvements to existing pool and spas.

If you are interested in prequalifying or learning more about the process please call 858-848-0048 or email me t mwalsh006@gmail.com today. You may also begin the FHA 203k Renovation prequalification process by clicking here: http://www.approvingcalifornia.com/

San Diego Real Estate Good News in 2009

Dawn Lewis                       San Diego Realtor: Real Estate Agent in San Diego, CA

Good News for San Diego Home Buyers in 2009

San Diego Real Estate 2009 Pending Home Sales

In 2009 San Diego Home Buyers are getting on board with the program. According to the National Association of Realtors many home buyers are out buying homes. Pending home sales has increased which is a great sign for the U.S. Real Estate Market. Pending home sales are measured by the Pending Home Sales Index which is a forward looking indicator based on purchase contracts signed in December. The index for December 2008 rose 6.3% over the November 2008 reading and this is 2.1% higher than December 2007. In the west we are seeing a17.5% higher number than the same month last year.

NAR states that the Pending Home Sales Index is a leading indicator for the housing sector, based on pending sales of existing homes. A sale is listed as pending when the contract has been signed but the transaction has not closed, though the sale usually is finalized within one or two months of signing.

NAR – National Association of Realtors stated that the improved affordability conditions such as low interest rates and cheaper homes were a factor to the increase in pending sales. Another great statistic for December 2008 was that the Housing Affordability Index rose to 10.9 %. NAR stated it was the highest on record. This is a very positive trend going into 2009.

Many areas of San Diego and Chula Vista have seen a jump in pending sales in early 2009. I have also been getting many more phone calls and emails from people wanting to buy a home in 2009. If you are ready to buy a home in 2009 please give us a call.
