PROPERTIES INTO DREAM HOMES WITH THE HOMESTYLE ® MORTGAGE
The Fannie Mae HomeStyle® Renovation Mortgage is a single-close loan that allows borrowers to purchase a home that needs repairs, or refinance their existing home, and include the necessary funds for renovation in the loan balance. The loan amount is based on the “as-completed” value of the home.
There are no required improvements or a minimum dollar amount for the repairs – Repairs or improvements however, must be permanently affixed and add value to the property. Luxury items such as pools are eligible improvements.
So, How Can Your Borrower Qualify?
• 620 minimum qualifying credit score
• Available in 15 and 30 year fixed terms – ARMs are not permitted
• Eligible properties include 1 - 2 unit primary residences, 1 unit second homes and investment properties, PUDs, and Fannie Mae approved Condominiums
• The property must have been completed for at least one year
• No minimum dollar amount required for repairs

Many buyers are not aware that FHA & HUD have a special $100 down mortgage program, mainly because this is a specialty program. In fact very few lenders and banks specialize in and offer the HUD 100 down program. $100 down home loans are here in Texas. In most cases the FHA loan program requires 3.5% down payment, not the HUD $100 down program. This loan is perfect for new first time buyers entering the housing market with little to no money for large down payments. The HUD $100 down program is available. The HUD $100 Down program makes government owned foreclosures available for purchase with just a $100 down payment. And, these homes are available with an insured FHA loan for owner-occupants. In addition, monthly payments can be very low thanks to secure low 30 year fix mortgage rates. First time buyers often find it cheaper to own their own home than to rent.
