Crucial Advice for Homebuying in Disaster Zones

     I have had a lot of questions about how to buy a home in the disaster areas this past week. Whether you're a seasoned investor, realtor or a first-time homebuyer, you may also be wondering how people buy and rehab homes that are in complete disrepair.

I’m going to let you in on a wonderful loan product FHA has for just that.

     Now, more than ever, there is a real need for this product because of the recent storms and all the challenges many people are facing, so I thought it would be helpful to share how the FHA 203(h) program works.

It’s designed for anyone affected by natural disasters, like those storms we just went through. What’s the FHA 203(h) Program? The FHA 203(h) program helps people who lost their homes due to a disaster. It allows you to buy or rebuild a home with some great benefits, like no down payment. Here’s a quick rundown of what it offers:
     No Down Payment: You can finance 100% of the purchase price. Flexible Credit: It’s great for those who don’t have perfect credit. Loan Amounts: They vary depending on where you live, so it’s useful in different areas. Fast Process: They speed up the loan process so families can get housing quicker.
Who Qualifies?

     Anyone who lost their primary home in a federally declared disaster, even renters. You need to apply within one year of the disaster. You’ll need to show you can pay back the loan. You can play a big part in helping families find out about this. Feel free to share this with anyone who could benefit!
