Its not very much money and if you put the deed up as collateral I can't believe you can't get 20 k to finish it up quickly and move in or see what the market does for you. 

Or SOLO-K?

I am looking, specifically, at using the 203(k) loan program through FHA for my first home purchase, and I am doing research as to what exactly that process would entail, or whether there might be a better option for rehabbing my own first purchase, post-closing.I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, and am originally a native of Baltimore, MD.

Here are my numbers.Make 60 k per year at my job.1st home receive 2025 in rent .. mortgage is 1575.

Yes - if you make 401(k) contributions it will lower your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) which is used to calculate the phaseout.2. 

k=1571507XBCSM&p=DE-46772817-166

I did a live-in flip on a HUD home using a Streamline 203(k) loan (where the rehab loan is rolled into the mortgage) about 6 years ago.

This is becoming a popular option for cabins in the area to install, much more efficient than the baseboard heating many have and more practical than installing a propane system.My place: https://post.craigslist.org/k/tqTJaAlD6BGJPAqtBO1S...
