Bill,
Even though seasoning many times can be an issue. You purchased it for $25,000, put $12,000 into it totaling $37,000.
Most Mortgage brokers shouldn’t have any problem getting this deal down for $40,000 and covering your closing cost.
You would have to show your closing statement for your purchase price of $25,000 and proof of the $12,000 expenditures (receipts, work orders, cancelled checks etc).
I feel comfortable in saying that any good Mortgage broker should be able to get it down.
If they say that they can’t because they don’t have the sources, give them First Franklin, BNC Mortgage, Washington Mutual just to name a few.
Bill, your numbers are justifiable if you can show the work done and prove your expenditures.
