A-tier credit buyer seeking lender for 30 year fixed who will allow escrow funds to be held for repairs.

We are hoping to buy a fixer upper in Douglasville or Snellville only for a second & eventual retirement home. We are seeking a lender who will allow us to escrow money for the repairs, a scheme we have pulled of successfully in the past but now find mortgage companies dumbfounded at the idea. We have A-tier credit, Experian score 770's. We own our primary home and a second home outright but do NOT wish to do a home equity on them. We are ready to buy promptly.

I can recommend a couple of good lenders that work with FHA 203K loans

Dave Fuchs - Metro Brokers Financial
404-610-4729

Andrea Stadler - Suntrust Bank
404-276-0518

I work this area and use these lenders often. Either one of them would be great to work with.

Good Luck!
