Use a septic installer that will install the septic and finance it until the closing. They can escrow the money and pay the contractor off the HUD statement. I have done this many times.

The easiest way would be to have the seller install the system so there is no issue with the bank. There are certainly many banks that will finance a property with a failed septic system. It sounds like you may not have looked hard enough. Most banks will require an escrow of 1.5 times the cost of replacing the system.

You also have other options.

1) You could ask the bank (the seller) to seller finance the purchase, and obtain the rehab loan through them.
2) If this is an investment property, then you could bring in a partner to help you acquire the property..
3) Your could obtain either a bridge or hard money loan to buy and rehab the property, and refinance after having completed the rehab.

If you are looking for a mortgage person that can write that type of loan,(203K) call Gibraltar Mortgage, ask for Laurie. They are located in Leominster. You can talk to her and see if you like that option.

Hi Jessenia,

Deb is correct about the 203K. That was the rehab loan I was mentioning. Cheryl Leblanc at Wells Fargo does Handle 203K!

Actually, you may want to look into a mortgage loan known as a 203K.  This type of loan allows you to fund the money for repairs, such as the septic into your mortgage, Lancaster is a great town, hope you are able to put the deal together. Good Luck

the bank is not willing to fix the system, the house is listed for 90,000 and worth far more, i can get my hands on 50,000 cash but thats all and cant fine any alternitives... iv heard of 203k loans or rehab loans but they are difficult to find andything on and most banks wont offer them. i dont want to miss this proprety or this amazing oppertunity for my family!!

Hi Jessenia,

If the seller or bank (if it is already foreclosed) isn't going to obtain Title V, it would have to be a cash deal (usually investors) or possibly a rehab loan. I've worked with Cheryl Leblanc at Wells Fargo, & she was great with the rehab loan. Her number is 508-363-2205 or 508-498-7570, she can provide you with more information. If you aren't currently working with another agent & would like more assistance, please feel free to contact me at: 508-887-3291 or cjaillet@erakey.com

Hello:

If you can not find any bank to offer a loan for this situation (and given the current climate, that is not terribly surprising). Then there are several ways.
A) Negotiate for the seller to put the system in, and have the system paid for at closing. This is complicated, but can work for everyone, as it requires no cash out of pocket.
B) Buy the property with cash.
C) Escrow reasonable septic expenses to the banks satisfaction.

Those are the basics. Contact me directly if you'd like more information.

Hello, Jessenia,

could you, please, tell a bit more about the situation?

Thank you. Bella

I am assuming the seller has refused to make the repairs. Can you tell me a little more about the situation?
