“the loans are crummy due to the red-tape, high fees and costs, etc.”

These loans s*cked for investors. I spent six months getting one closed, and it was a bad deal all the way through.

Owner/occupants might have a different opinion, but with all the cheap money around I can’t imagine it’s worth the hassle.

How do I locate lenders who know what this is. I have called at least a dozen and no one knows what I am talking about

I looked into 203k before and was excited. Then I found they killed the investor portion of the program.

Everyone i have talked with has said the loans are crummy due to the red-tape, high fees and costs, etc.

Find a good mortgage broker or local bank or get owner financing.

Look up lenders that specially advertise 203k as part of their arsenal. They’re out there - you just have to find them.

Find a RE broker who specializes in HUD homes and they will know. These are only good for owner occupied deals now, however.
