FHA maximum mortgage amounts are on the rise again... The FHA Maximum Mortgage Limits are increasing to match the limits used earlier this year effective on January 1st 2011. That means in the high cost areas we will be back to $729,750... yahoo! Don't forget the mixed use buildings with four residential units and four-plexes can go as high as $1.4 million. SF and surrounding counties this is your chance to move some of those mixed use and larger four unit buildings.  Also remember it can be anything before the renovation as long as it is 1-4 units after the renovation.  That means it could be a warehouse - turn it into four units... maybe Live-Work units. We turned an 8-plex with studios into four, four-bedroom units, four bedroom units bring very good market rents and are in demand at...

You can tell people a hundred times that time is of the essense and the work should progress at a good pace through completion. Sometimes it falls on deaf ears. Example 1: Recently a client closed a 203k loan and became incomunicative. No one could get hold of her. The contractor failed to start the work saying he MUST have communication with the client prior to entering her property to start the work, and rightly so.
