My Real Tacoma: Adventures in Rehab Loans
By Kevin Stirret Jones
As a senior mortgage officer at Bank of America, I’d been in the mortgage business since 2002 and the time had finally came to buy my first home.
My family and I have actually lived in the same house since 2001. We’ve been fortunate to rent my wife’s grandmother’s house from her family for the last several years and when the opportunity presented itself to buy this house and keep it in the family we leapt at it! Now, if you don’t know me, I have a wife and two wonderful kids. Our house is a little on the small side at 1000 square feet with three bedrooms and one bath. Since we’re buying this house and we’ve been here for several years, love our neighborhood and our neighbors we decided to buy the house and renovate it using the FHA 203k program.
