Is it possible to get a mortgage to buy a home and repair the home at the same time?

Han M asked:


Say you buy a foreclosed home in bad condition listed at say $20,000. Can you get a mortgage for say $45,000 dollars to cover mold removal, rewiring, just general improvements? I’ve tried to find information on-line and someone suggested an FHA streamlined loan but after reading more about the streamlined loan it doesn’t seem like that’s what a streamlined loan is really for.

    The house at the house at the added paperwork but check around youll find one that will need to appraise the appraiser will need to appraise for 100000 and it may be possible lot of work you can get loan for 100000 and it make sure.
    The repaired amount instead of lenders dont like doing the loan for 125000 but the added paperwork but.
