Need Clarity on Inspection Requirements?
Renovation loans involve more than a standard purchase appraisal. Expect after-improved value reviews, draw inspections as work progresses, HUD consultant oversight on Standard FHA 203(k), local permit sign-offs, and a final completion inspection before the last escrow release. Ryan and Steve map the inspection path for Indiana rehab files.
Before closing, the appraisal assumes your renovation is complete and values the home on an after-improved basis. That number, together with your bids and scope, drives how much the loan can include for purchase and rehab.
After closing, draw inspections gate escrow releases. Each milestone must pass before contractors get paid. On Standard FHA 203(k), a HUD-approved consultant often manages feasibility review, draw inspections, and final completion sign-off.
Local building permits and municipal inspections run parallel to lender requirements. A passed city rough-in does not automatically clear a lender draw — both tracks need attention. Ryan and Steve coordinate expectations so Indiana buyers are not caught off guard mid-project.
Each inspection serves a different purpose — value, progress, compliance, or completion.
Inspections are the checkpoint between completed work and released funds.
