It is important that you know what is in the agreement to be part of the Rehab Program.
The WCLB will estimate a rehab expense in each offer application. This expense is valued at the livable square footage X $35.00. This will be an estimate and should not be interpreted as the total amount invested. The rehabber must provide a letter from a lending institution stating they are qualified for the estimated amount or more. The rehabber can submit a bank statement showing those funds or any other official documentation showing the ability to fund the project.

A private rehabber took the first listed property in 2018 for just $1.00 and an investment of $22,000, creating a home that the neighborhood can be proud of.
The unnamed contractor stated, "This was the best experience. I felt supported by the Land Bank, and the process was easy!"
