FHA 203k--Working with the Contractor

[Steven Holiday]

Hi Everybody.

If someone intends to owner/occupy a home after renovations....

and the approved contractor has an agreement on the job...

Can the GC "supervise" the work done by the borrower or hired help (trashout, prep/cleanup, etc.), to reduce the actual cost?  

Would the loan fund with some cash back to the borrower?  

Not looking to break any rules, just curious about process.  

Thanks.
