Escrow Holdbacks for Minor Repairs Smaller amounts of funding can be provided with an escrow holdback. These are available for most types of loans, including GSE, government-insured, Jumbo and Portfolio Lending Suite products. Weather-Related/General Escrows – This method can fund minor repairs such as external paint and landscaping. Funds are limited to 10% of the property’s value or $5,000 (VA loans may qualify for up to $6,000) Non-Agency Portfolio – This method is available for most Caliber Portfolio Suite loan products. It can fund minor repairs similar as those covered by general escrow funding. Funds are limited to 10% of the property’s value or $5,000.

Choosing the Right Renovation Loan The next slides will explain the pros and cons of all available renovation options. This will help you understand which loan products are ideal for any “fixerupper” properties you’re selling. One major benefit offered by all products is that they can help you close loans with sellers who prefer to lower a property’s sale price than to carry out improvements requested by potential buyers.

FHA 203(k) Rehabilitation Loan Since different properties require different levels of repairs, the 203(k) loan is offered in two levels: Standard and Streamline. The major differences in these two is that the Standard 203(k) is required for properties requiring structural repairs and for projects exceeding $35,000.
§
Standard “Full” 203(k) – Provides financing for major projects, including structural repairs. A HUD consultant who specializes in preparing the documentation for 203(k) loans, and the contractors required to carry out the repairs, is required. A Full 203(k) offers more funding for repairs than a Streamline 203(k).
§
Streamline “Limited” 203(k) – Provides financing for minor repairs, such as updating one or more rooms. Unlike the Full 203(k), a HUD consultant is not required but may be used to meet inspection requirements. The maximum additional funding for a Streamline 203(k) is $35,000.

Work With a Renovation Specialist Since the FHA 203(k) and HomeStyle Renovation loans require additional planning and paperwork, only a limited number of Loan Consultants can offer these products to borrowers.
§
Caliber Home Loans provides mandatory training sessions for every Loan Consultant who offers HomeStyle Renovation loans.
§
In addition to completion of their training, each HomeStyle Loan Consultant must obtain formal approval from their Divisional Vice President before offering renovation products.
§
Working with a trained Loan Consultant helps expedite your client’s negotiations with the licensed contractors and renovation consultants, making the entire process easier and less stressful.
