True 203k stories

By Paul L
Lakeshore 203K

Aaron D found a Minnesota lake home that needed a new foundation, furnace and roof.

A regular mortgage would not allow loan money to be used for these repairs, this became a 203k loan.

The homeowner bought the house, dug a new foundation, moved it closer to the lake and added a new furnace, roof, windows and doors.

Aaron can now sit on his deck and watch the sun go down on his lake shore property.

203k can make dreams come true.
