Chico Real Estate Specialist Sandi Bauman
Skip Schenker of the Renovation Lending Institute talks with Sandi Bauman about a recently completed FHA 203k renovation loan transaction where Skip was the loan officer.

Skip Schenker of Renovation-Radio.com and Renovation Lending Institute talks about the advantages of closing “As-Is” with an FHA 203k renovation loan for listing agents and buyers agents. Sellers and asset managers may not want to repair properties prior to sale and by using 203k loans to close “As-Is” the available buyer pool is increased and the potential for timely and higher value sales are increased.

Skip Schenker of Renovation-Radio.com discusses the issue of a “sagging roof” that was cited by an FHA appraiser on an appraisal for an FHA 203k renovation loan. This leads to a problem when a homebuyer wants to use an FHA 203k Streamline loan for repairs and renovation as a sagging roof is a “structural problem” and should prompt the loan to become an FHA 203k Standard loan with the use of a HUD Consultant and general contractor.

Just because mortgage rates are at historic lows doesn’t mean homeowners can qualify to refinance. Most Americans can’t because their credit scores aren’t perfect, their houses have lost value or they’ve lost income.
As a result, tens of millions of Americans have been effectively blocked from saving hundreds of dollars a month by refinancing.
“We would avoid more foreclosures, people would be happier and I think the economy would get a lot better” if everybody could access the low rates, Riccio says.
That’s basically what some economists are proposing — at least for some 30 million Americans. The premise of the idea is that because of the financial crisis, the federal government has already guaranteed 60 percent of existing home mortgages.
