RD HANDBOOK CHANGES

INSERT RD HB-1-3550
(WSAL)


DIRECT SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING LOANS AND GRANTS FIELD OFFICE HANDBOOK
.  This Handbook is partially revised.  Specific revisions include:

Chapter 3:

Attachment 3-G:  Removed the references to Attachments 5-A and 5-B.

Chapter 5:

Introduction:  Removed the preliminary review of the property (and subsequently removed Attachments 5-A and 5-B from Attachment 3-G).  This requirement has been waived since July 12, 2010, and is being made permanent.  Added guidance on handling seller completed repairs.

Section 1:  Made permanent the allowances made in the Unnumbered Letter dated April 17, 2012, dealing with the rural area designation review. 

Section 2:  Added guidance to address how to determine a regional or statewide area loan limit.  Expanded upon the Loan Originator’s role as it relates reviewing inspections on existing properties.

Section 3:  Clarified that the Field Office is not required to conduct a site inspection to complete the environmental review if the appraiser marks “No” to the adverse site conditions question.

Section 5:  Clarified and improved guidance on appraisal related issues.

Section 6:  Removed the suggestion that the Agency may maintain a list of (non-manufactured) building contractors (since this inappropriately links the Agency to the builder’s performance) and removed the requirement for Field Offices to vet unfamiliar (non-manufactured) building contractors.

Former Attachment 5-D:  Guidance on using LATFnet.com / LandAmerica for flood hazard determinations was entirely removed since another vendor replaced this vendor awhile ago.  Guidance on the current vendor can be found in SharePoint.

Attachment 5-E is being renumbered to 5-D;
Attachment 5-F is being renumbered to 5-E; and
Attachment 5-G is being renumbered to 5-F.
