Appraisal came in too low?The FHA 203k has a nuance that may just save your bacon. Lets say you have a conventional loan and the appraisal comes in a little low, Change the financing to a Limited 203k and gain up to 10% on the appraised value. That is correct, you heard me right. I was reading another post yesterday, and the appraisal came in 3% low, so they went back to the seller, and the seller said that's too bad, we have other offers. They could have just switched the financing to a Limited 203k and closed the loan. This is much easier than it may sound.What else can we do to help close a loan with an issue with the buyer's rations being out of whack? We had an instance where the loan was to close on December 26th or 27th...  the buyers went crazy and ran their credit cards up by a... 11/12/2023

203k is alive and well in Sheridan WYWhile the 203k is actually alive and well everywhere, it is especially the desired loan type in Sheridan WY as the majority of homes were built in 1975. That would make most of them 40-60 years old. I think every home sale should be a renovation loan, fix it like you want going in and enjoy the home as you see it. If there is carpet you don't know how many pets have left something there for you to discover in a few years. Make it your home with new carpeting or floor coverings. Update the kitchen and bathrooms, repaint that bedroom with the red walls and the one with the black walls and ceiling, LOL. There must be something you would like to fix or change, that makes it a renovation loan prospect. Maybe the buyer was looking for a 4 bedroom, 2 bathro... 11/11/2023
