14. 203(k) Contractors AFR permits for 1 contractor. In situations where more than 1 contractor is needed, 1 must be named as the general contractor. The general contractor will carry over all of the subcontractors’ bids onto his/ her bid. The general contractor will be responsible for overseeing that all repairs are done in a workmanlike and timely manner.

15. 203(k) Contractor The general contractor will also be responsible for disbursing all funds to the subcontractors when funds are released from escrow. The general contractor must carry sufficient insurance equal to the amount of the total rehab amount through a valid and current e&o or liability insurance declarations page.

16. 203(k) Contractor The contractor must provide a detailed work write up or bid itemizing all the repairs that are to be completed with cost and note if permits are going to be required. The appraiser will review the contractor bid to determine that it falls within the usual and customary range for similar work. Licensing requirements vary in each state for contractors. If a repair calls for a specialized contractor, such as plumbing repairs, the contractor must have a plumbing license.

17. 203(k) Contractor This is an example of a contractor’s bid or work write up for the repairs to be done to the property. It is detailed and itemized specifically stating what each repair is. The sums must add up to the total amount on the bottom which will be used to calculate the total rehab amount on the 92700 worksheet.

18. Total Rehab Cost The 203(k) streamline program can be done on a purchase or a rate & term refinance, where the borrower can finance the total cost of repairs/ rehab into their loan amount. Remember, your base loan amount can never exceed the max loan limits for the area.

19. Total Rehab Cost Rehabilitation cost include all of the following and can not exceed $35,000: - cost of rehab (including labor) - contingency fee (10% and note this is at the underwriter’s discretion) - $300 final inspection fees (there are 2 inspections at $150 each)

20. Total Rehab Cost Borrowers may not provide the additional money to escrow if the repairs exceed the $35,000. The actual costs will have to be reduced to include all of the required fees. For example, in order to utilize the maximum amount allowed under the program, the contractor bid can not exceed $31,545 if a contingency fee is being factored. - $31545 X 10% or $3154.50 + $300 = $34999.50

21. 92700 203(k) Worksheet On a purchase or rate & term refinance, the 92700 worksheet must be completed in calculating the max loan amount and the total rehab amount. On a purchase, typically your loan amount will be calculated off the sales price plus the total rehab amount (line B14 on the 92700 worksheet).

22. 92700 203(k) Worksheet However, there are times when the after improved value is not supported with all of the repairs that are completed. Deferred maintenance, such as peeling paint, does not add value. In cases where the 110% of the after improved value is less than the sales price plus the total rehab amount, the base loan amount would be equal to 110% of the after improved value (line a4 on 92700 worksheet).

23. line B1 = amt from contractor bid In this example, the base loan amount is calculated as: sales price $100,000 plus total rehab amount $11300 (line b14) = $111300 x 96.5% = $107404. Your base loan amount would be $107404.

24. 92700 203(k) Worksheet To import your figures onto the 1003, you would take line b14 (the total sum of the repair) and place this figure under details of transaction line b alterations, improvements or repairs. The sales price will be from the purchase contract. In our example, line a purchase price would be $100,000. Line b would be $11,300 or line b14 of the 92700 worksheet. Your base loan amount off the 92700 worksheet would be placed under loan amount. Remember the loan amount on the worksheet is BEFORE the UFMIP factor, or in our example, base loan amount is $107,404.

25. 92700 203(k) Worksheet Borrowers looking to refinance may choose the option of obtaining a 203(k) streamline for required or “wish list” repairs, that are allowable under the 203(k) streamline program. They do this under a rate & term refinance, where even though they are financing the cost of the total rehab, the max cash out permitted to the borrowers is $500 and they only pay off any mortgages attached to the property.

26. 92700 203(k) Worksheet On all 203(k) streamline refinances, the appraiser provides two values: – “As is” value: value before the repairs are completed. – “After improved” value: value after all of the repairs are completed.

27. 92700 203(k) Worksheet On all 203(k) refinances, there are 4 different numbers you are calculating in order to determine final loan amount. – Calculation a: The total sum of the mortgage pay off plus the total rehab amount (line b14 of the worksheet) plus the total closing costs and prepaids – Calculation b: The sum of the as is value plus the total rehab amount OR 110% of the after improved value. – Calculation c: Whichever is less of the total sum of rehab plus as is or 110% after improved value, you would take 97.75% for its sum. – Now whichever is less between calculation a or calculation b, this will be your base loan amount. – NOTE : If you are paying off an existing FHA insured loan, you must subtract the MIP refund

28. This is the only difference from the purchase 92700 worksheet. You need the total closing costs and prepaids for all 203k streamline refinances. Calculation on line D2 is whichever is less from the sum of the as is value plus the total rehab amount (a2 + b14) or 110% of the after improved value (a4). Whichever is less, that will be the amount you put on that line as the sum. Then on line D3, you will take 97.75% off that sum. In this scenario, the sum of D1 is $114300 and the sum of 97.75% off the as is plus the rehab amt is $118570.75 since $121300 is less than 110% off the after improved value. Our base loan amount will be $114300, since it is less.

29. 92700 203(k) Worksheet To import your figures onto the 1003, you would take line b14 (the total sum of the repair) and place this figure under details of transaction line b alterations, improvements or repairs. The mortgage pay off amount will still fall under section d refinance (incl. debts to be paid off) In our example, the total pay off amount for refinance would be $100,000. Total rehab amount or section b would be $11300. Since the total sum of the pay off amount plus rehab amount plus closing costs & prepaids is less than the other calculations, your base loan amount will be $114300.
