26 How the Streamline 203(k) works

27 Here s how the Streamline 203(k) works It starts with the borrower who wants to make repairs and/or improvements to a house. Process: Borrower selects contractor for desired work. Contractor visits the property and prepares work estimate (contractor bid). Loan is approved by underwriter with repairs and/or improvements as approved by underwriter. Appraiser is provided copies of underwriter approved work estimates and prepares appraisal based on repairs and/or improvements to be completed on property (as if all repairs have been completed).

28 Here s how the Streamline 203(k) works Process (continued): Loan closes/funds. Contractors receive Initial Draw to begin work (50% of total contractor Work Proposal). Repairs and/or improvements work begins. Changes needed to work as listed on the original underwriter approved work estimate: all work must stop, contractor to submit to Stearns Rehab Dept., detailed description to include costs of needed changes. description of needed changes must include explanation of the unforeseen Health & Safety issues (such as hidden damage caused by termites, mold or water damage) that were previously unknown but were discovered during rehabilitation process. changes approved by Stearns Rehab Dept., contractor continues work (the requested changes cannot be completed if the requested changes are not approved by underwriter).

29 Here s how the Streamline 203(k) works Process (continued): Contractor completes repairs and/or improvements: contacts Stearns Rehab Dept., informing that all repairs and/or improvements have been completed. provides copy of final invoice signed and dated by contractor and borrower. Stearns Rehab Dept. completes final disbursement process: orders final inspection, acquires title search, prepares documentation for contractor and borrower to sign, requests documentation from contractors and borrowers, reconciles final invoice (work completed, costs, etc.), requests final payment to contractor. Escrow account is closed and balance of 203K Repair Escrow Account is applied as principal reduction to borrower s current mortgage loan.
