203K Loans and FHA Streamline Loans?


I’ve been going back over old posts about 203K loans and the reviews are mixed, to say the least! Was wondering if anyone currently in the trenches had any new updates or advice. We’re currently applying for a standard FHA loan, but the inspection is turning up some work we weren’t expecting.

Also, does anyone have any experience with the streamline loans? Are they less complicated than a full-out 203K? Anyone recommend a bank that handles them?

Ventless Dryer or washer/dryer?


Our apartment has a washing machine hook-up and a 220V plug but no vent for the dryer. I’ve been looking at LG, Thor and Bosch for options. A friend also mentioned that I should look for a warehouse sale and try to buy a “scrath and dent” machine. Does anyone have any experience with these options, and can anyone recommend a vendor that would also handle the installation?
