Possible to buy beat up house with no construction/FHA 203(k) loan?

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 02:41:00 GMT

I have my heart set on a house that has some issues. The siding needs work, one wall is pulling away from the structure, and there are a couple holes in the interior ceilings. No big deal.

I've been talking to lenders and brokers and they keep saying FHA 203(k) or construction/renovation loan. The concern is the bank won't lend the money, there will be large costs to cure, etc.

My question is how are people buying these houses? There are gazillions of houses that don't meet the strict standards of the FHA. This particular housed was purchased in 2006, and I know the damage didn't all happen in the past three years - how did the current occupant get a loan?

Anyone? Is it possible any more to buy an old house free and clear without someone looking over your shoulder, forcing you to hire contractors, etc.? I see this as a long term project where I do the bulk of the work myself, on my own schedule.

Thanks.
