The Delaware FHA 203k Rehab loan is used to buy a property or refinance a property that is in need of repair or needs updating. The property must be a primary residence. The property and the borrower must meet all the guidelines for a normal Delaware FHA loan.
Most lenders will not do these speciality loans because they require more training and experise from the loan officer, processor, and underwriter. There are two versions of the FHA 203k loan, the Full 203k and the streamline 203k. The streamline is much easier, faster, and less hassle. The big difference is in the loan amount. Streamline will limit your money for repairs and updating to $30,000 or under. The Full 203k has no limits.
There are many properties in Delaware right now that this loan would make a great oppurtunity for a home buyer to get a house with lots of equity that needed some work. The money for the repairs is financed into your purchase loan.
If you need help obtaining a Delaware FHA 203k loan please feel free to call me at 302-588-3665 or send an e-mail to DelawareMortgages@yahoo.com. My company Primary Residential Mortgage is a mortgage banker that underwrites and funds the FHA 203k loans.

Recent Federal legislation can impact your closing date. When completing your Purchase Agreement, even if you are prepared to move forward and close quickly, a more conservative timeframe of at least 30-45 days from the time of the contract acceptance would be a more realistic expectation at this time.
Listed below is information on two pieces of legislation that stand to impact your closing date, and a few bullet points that explain the reasoning behind and effects of each measure.
HVCC: Home Valuation Code of Conduct
HVCC was designed to ensure that appraisals are conducted objectively and without pressure from parties with an interest in the transaction. Under HVCC:
HERA: Housing and Economic Recovery Act
HERA was designed to ensure that the borrower(s) involved in the transaction are given accurate disclosure information
(Truth in Lending Statement pertaining to Annual Percentage Rate or APR) regarding the loan they are applying for and adequate time to re-evaluate their decision to proceed in the event of any changes that would impact their costs to finance.
Under HERA:

The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit will expire on December 1, 2009. The Tax Credit was established in the Economic Stimulus Bill that was passed by Congress and signed into Law by President Obama in Februrary of 2009. The last day to buy a house is November 30, 2009. So time is running out. It typicallly takes 30 days to buy a house from the day a contract is signed. This means you must be under contract by November 1st in order to buy your new home in time to qualify for the tax credit.
The tax credit is for 10% of the purchase up to a maximum of $8,000. So if you buy a home for at least $80,000 you will qualify for the full $8,000. You can claim the money as soon as you settle on your new home by amending your 2008 tax return. All you need to do is fill out a one page IRS form to amend your 2008 tax return claiming the tax credit. As soon as the request is processed you will receive your check or direct deposit into your checking account.
If you need help qualifying for a mortgage to buy your first home, feel free to call me at 302-368-7132 or send an e-mail to DelawareMortgages@yahoo.com

I am able to direct lend as well as broker loans, so will be able to find the right lender with the right product.

I am certified in FHA Loans, Reverse Mortgages, VA loans, USDA Rural Housing Program, First Time Home Buyer Programs, Commercial Lending, Construction Loans, Bankruptcy Buy-outs, Divorce settlements, and hard money lending.
Here is a recommendation from a top financial planner
"In my line of work (financial advisor) I often have the need of brining in a mortgage expert to work with my clients. I have recommended John many times, and have always been impressed with his level of expertise and have never been disappointed with his level of responsiveness to a particular client's need. Not only can he find the right product, but he will educate you on all the options and help you to understand the decision you are making." March 10, 2008
Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert

This section, using real life examples, details how Mortgage Coach, my unique mortgage solution software, separates me from the rest of the mortgage industry by providing information to clients that other mortgage lenders don't think to offer; thereby, helping my clients make more informed decisions about the financing options available to them.
Case Study 1
A client is open to refinancing his mortgage to lower his rate, when rates fall below a certain level. With the Rate Watch Report, I can e-mail him/her (on a monthly basis) a comparison of current market rates and what the monthly savings would be. The client can then make more informed decisions based on current market data.
Case Study 2
A client wants to refinance his loan to lower his monthly payments. However, he's not sure consolidating his credit debt into his mortgage makes financial sense. With the Debt Free Analysis, I can show the client how paying consumer debt through refinancing can be beneficial to him and what those benefits total in monthly savings.
Case Study 3
A client doesn't know what mortgage rate/cost structure is the most beneficial for their situation. Unlike what you may have heard from the news media, The Lowest Rate is Not Always The Best Loan. With my Total Cost Analysis, I can provide a comparison of 3 to 4 rate/cost scenarios, allowing the client to pick the one that best fits their lifestyle and future plans.
Case Study 4
A client is purchasing a property with less than 20% down payment (which typically requires Private Mortgage Insurance or PMI), but doesn't know the options available to him/her. With my PMI Comparison Analysis Report, I can show that a 1st and 2nd loan combination, instead of PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance), will reduce monthly payments, increase tax deductions and increase equity.
Case Study 5
A client is concerned about living paycheck-to-paycheck and is considering either ending monthly investment in their retirement account/investments or canceling an insurance policy to free up monthly cash. With our Equity Repositioning Report I can show them how refinancing and continuing to contribute to their investments can not only increase their monthly cash flow but will also help them invest more fully in their financial future.
