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.
