I'll add that this is my first foreclosure purchase and the process has been a breeze so far (to my surprise). I'm doing the FHA 203k loan because the property needs some rehab. The home inspection found some items that need attention so we submitted them to the bank askingb for them fix or give us a credit at closing.

I looked at doing a 203k a while back, but was worried about having my hands tried as far as who did the work. I like to sub the work that I can't do out myself. if I remember correctly, for the 203k you have to have a gc do the work so they can keep tabs on the money, but you also have to have all of that planned ahead before they approve you. So it leaves you very little time to vet gc's. Can you let me know the timeline of the process you are taking and How it has worked out?
