Is it possible for a buyer to get more than the amount appraised in order to do repairs on a house?

    sure is.. mainstfinancial.net is a hard money lendor at 17% and I also know a lendor who will lend the house plus repairs with 10% down at a rate of around 7%.. Then you can get the house reappraised and take a new loan for the new appraisal and cash out the difference, then lease option the house

    there are a lot of them that will do it. The question is why would you want to. If it is that bad of shape, unless he is a friend, let it go to foreclosure and get the price down. There will be more profit if it is bought at pre foreclosure or after foreclosure.

    Good luck,

    Yes, there called 125 2nd's. This is a loan were you can borrow 125% of the appraised value. I just looked at a rate sheet from one of my lender that says you must have minimum 620 FICO and $2,000 per month disposable cash to qualify.
