203 (k) consultants are designated by FHA to act as a consultant to home purchasers who obtain a mortgage loan to either buy a home in need of repair (the loan covers the cost of both the home and the repairs) or to improve their existing home. CMC, as the 203 (k) consultant, conducts a walk-through with the homeowner/buyer and then completes the necessary work write up to identify required repairs, renovations, upgrades required by FHA to meet minimum property standards and to address family preferences. CMC ensures the property complies with required/eligible repair guidelines. In addition to the work write up, when necessary, CMC also completes a feasibility study, prepares architectural exhibits, and specifications for repair.
