The Fixer-Upper Reality Check
Not every fixer-upper is a good rehab loan candidate.
That may not be the exciting answer, but it is the honest one.
Some properties have repair issues that are manageable. Others have hidden problems that can slow down financing,
scare contractors, create appraisal concerns, or blow up the buyer’s budget.
Before writing the offer, ask better questions:
What repairs are required?
What repairs are optional?
Will the contractor bid be lender-friendly?
Are there safety or habitability issues?
Does the buyer understand the draw process?
Is this a project — or a problem wearing fresh paint?
That is where a qualified home inspector and FHA 203(k) consultant can bring real value.
At Rose’s Home Services, LLC, I help turn confusion into a clearer plan.
