PURCHASE AND REHAB YOUR HOME IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY FLORIDA WITH AN FHA 203(K) LOAN - Most home buyers are turned off at the sight or even thought of buying a fixer-upper; a foreclosure or an older home today. However, educated and informed home buyers are utilizing the FHA 203(k) loan to buy their new home and fix it up with no additional out-of-pocket expense. The FHA 203(k) loan is a tool that savvy home buyers, successful contractors, Realtors and mortgage originators have been using since 1978. An FHA 203(k) loan is very similar to the traditional FHA loan. The only real difference is that with the FHA 203(k) loan, the home buyer is adding money to their mortgage balance to finance-in any repair/improvement cost. Whereas the traditional FHA loan requires that certain repairs be do... 03/06/2011

Apollo Beach, FL I recently went over the housing market statistics for all of Hillsborough County and talked about Real Estate being so local that even in a specific county each zip code can get very different results.
