Ok this might take a while. Me and my fiancee are trying to purchase a HUD house. It has some very minor repairs that were required on our first go round with a lender (USDA loan). Being a HUD house though you CAN NOT do anything to the home until you close.
So we went with another lender and a 203k loan. He comes back to say that his lender has minimum credit scores and a minimum amount ($75k) for finance.
I am ready to pull my hair out with this situation.
The purchase price is $55k for a home with a HUD rated as-is value of $102k
Repairs needed are a few shingle on the roof which have blown off during its vacancy. A junction box for a shoddy light fixture install in the crawl space, securing the covering on a large concrete slab that has a pit for working on cars in it, and installing heat in the kitchen, bathroom, and washer/dryer room.
The 2nd lender is now saying that we can get a USDA loan and finance the repairs into the loan. Something the original lender said wasn't possible. Whats going on here??
My fiancee and I both have good standing jobs. We both meet the debt to income ratios for the amount of money we are trying to finance. She has great credit and I have fair to good credit.
What gives? Where and what should we be looking for?

As far as your question is concerned it is elaborated one and I really got what you want to say..
Now I think if you have good credit score as well as your wife do have a good credit score so Surely the amount is also not big, surely you should go for the deal.
keep in touch.....
