Real Talk w/ Tanya 💬

"Can I buy a fixer-upper with an FHA loan?"

Short answer: yes. But the house has to pass the test first.

The FHA appraiser checks health and safety, not pretty — a roof with life left in it, working heat and plumbing, safe stairs and railings, no peeling paint on older homes. Ugly carpet and a dated kitchen? Those are fine.

And if the house can't pass as-is, the deal isn't dead: there's a renovation loan (FHA 203(k)) that rolls the purchase AND the repairs into one mortgage.

Know which loan fits the house before you fall in love with it.

🔥 MARKET MINUTE: See "affordable housing covenant" on a listing? Here's what it really means:

These homes are priced BELOW market value — that's the good part. But the deal comes with rules: your income has to fall under HUD limits, you take a homebuyer course, and you submit an eligibility application before you buy.

The covenant keeps the home affordable — not just for you, but for the buyer after you too.

Want to see one in person? I'm hosting 2120 Stone School Circle in Ann Arbor this Sunday, 11 AM–1 PM. $211,820 — and yes, it's one of these covenant homes.
