Can I get a home loan for more than what the house is listed for?
i wanted to buy a house that definetly needs work....it is selling for $54,000 but i wanted to get a loan for about $70,000 to get the house fixed up. Will the home loan people approve a loan for higher than what the house is listed for ?
Additional Details
The house was purchased a year ago for $72,000, and the people who owned it, trashed it and now its going into forclosure, so with some work it could be worth 72 thousand or higher.

No, the lender goes by the purchase price in determining the loan amount.

Check with a mortgage broker. In some areas, there are FHA or other government sponsored lending programs where you can get loans for buying and fixing up run-down properties. These are generally in some very specific areas and have some extremely limited guidelines, not to mention take a lot of red tape.

The biggest problem you have to ask yourself, you will likely have to prove that after fix up the house will be worth at least (and in today's market, probably a lot more than) $70,000 when everything is done. You will need to be able to show convincing proof that is the case.

In most cases, it is better to do two loans - one to purchase the property and a second unsecured loan for the repairs. of course, that takes much better credit to do that.

Good luck

there are what is refered as a rehab mortgage that will allow you to buy the house plus money for improvements. In this case you must tell the lender what needs done and they will pay the contractors as they finish work.

with what is going on in this market right now, my bet is NO.

do you not realize that part of the mortgage crisis is due to people who owe more than their homes are worth....they default and now the bank is left holding the bag.

i don't care what everybody here says...i am willing to be you will NOT be able to pull this off for a very long time.

good luck :)

If the appraisal comes in higher, then the lender may work with you to rehab the house. But otherwise probably not. You will have to do an investment loan anyway.

Becareful of that area. It can be considered fraud when you pay more than a house is actually worth.
