Since this isn’t a “fixer,” and you’re going the FHA route, you’d have to go out-of-pocket for the remodel/upgrades or get a construction loan based off the ARV, which is generally going to require 25-30% down unless you go with private money, which will have much higher interest.I see it’s pending, so maybe you got it under contract, but if not, I know you can find a good deal out there, even if it’s a smaller starting point.
