The repair escrow program is offered when a HUD property requires less than $5000 in repairs to meet the intent of minimum property standards. A 10% coverage is also calculated into the costs so the actual amount given on any repair escrow can be as high as $5500. Minimum property standards are defined as items that affect the habitability of the home. Examples would be roofing, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, bare flooring, etc.

The FHA appraiser lists the estimated cost of repairs needed to bring the property up to minimum FHA standards. This amount is then multiplied by 110% and this amount is listed as the repair escrow amount. Example: if repairs total 1,000.00 x 110% = 1,100.00. The Repair Escrow amount will be listed at $1,100.00.

The DE Underwriter will determine the final 203(b) mortgage amount. The DE Underwriter will take into account the repair escrow amount to determine the FHA loan amount. The DE underwriter will determine this amount. Regardless of whether or not a repair escrow will be used in the purchase of a home, the lines on the Sales Contract that request the down payment amount and the secured mortgage amount should be filled in "TBD" (To Be Determined).

Escrow is an agreement to place money or other valuable items into an account with a third party for safekeeping, pending the completion of a promised act by one party or another. Some mortgage transactions will include an escrow agreement requiring the borrower to add a specific amount for taxes and insurance to the monthly mortgage payment. That money then goes into an escrow account which the lender will use to pay the taxes and insurance payments as they are due.
