A New Chapter in Hickory FallsLee and Marjorie Bennett had lived nearly their entire lives under the soft glow of the California sun. For forty-five years, they watched the same coastline roll out before them each morning — waves humming, gulls chattering, and traffic humming just beyond the hills. It was beautiful, yes, but familiar to the point of predictability. After retiring, they felt a stirring they hadn’t expected: the desire to begin again somewhere far from the familiar Pacific.That’s how Hickory, North Carolina began whispering to them.They liked the idea of seasons — real ones. They liked the character of the older neighborhoods. And most of all, they liked the secret dream they shared only with each other at first: a house with its own swimming pool, something they’d never ... 12/12/2025

Why You Should Use an FHA 203k Consultant, Even on a Limited ProjectUpdated 11/12/2024. The FHA 203k program is a powerful tool for homeowners and buyers looking to finance home improvements. While the Limited 203k program is designed for smaller projects under $75,000 as of November 4th, 2024, many people question the need for a consultant on such a seemingly straightforward renovation. The truth is that even a Limited 203k project can benefit significantly from the expertise of an FHA 203k consultant. The $75,000 might include a contingency reserve (it's up to the lender), plus costs and fees of about $800 that most people don't tell you. If you go over the $75,000, congratulations, you just made it a standard 203k. If your lender only does Limited 203k loans, you must find another le... 08/05/2024

Can I use the FHA 203k program to build a garage?The short answer it "Yes you can". If there is no garage or a one-car garage, you can certainly add another one with this program. The photo is one we did a few years ago. It can even be the only work done on a project if that is all that is needed. In this case they had a wood deck that also provided some protection as a carport underneath. So there was no garage. We had another one in NC in 2008. The home was about a year old and had no garage, so the only work needed was a new two-car garage with an automatic garage door opener. This is clearly a good way to utilize the program. You can't add a five-car garage when you already have a two—or three-car garage. We had one like that in Antioch years ago. The borrower collected automobiles ... 12/07/2023
