Well there is a FHA loan called a 203K that will allow you to get money to fix up a fixer.  You know, the homes where you go in and the carpets are filthy and the kitchen and bathrooms are a mess? 

 So,l now instead of passing them up (as others are doing) you can make an offer on one that is basically sound and only needs cosmetic work.  Get the extra money and have it remodeled.  You will have an easier time getting your offers excepted as everyone is looking to buy the homes that are already remodeled.  Also you can pick your carpet, tile and counters and will be able to move into a clean newly revamped home……

 For more information on the 203k loan program, visit www.hud.gov or www.re-buildusa.com.
