Assistance Considerations

Formula and Matching Requirements

The maximum loan amount is the same as Section 203(b) - Program 14.117. Value is determined by either (a) the value of the property before rehabilitation plus the cost of rehabilitation, or (b) 110 percent of the appraised value of the property after rehabilitation, whichever is less. The loan may be subordinated to an existing first mortgage, or there may be insured advances during the rehabilitation period if the loan is a first lien. The lender may charge the greater of $350 or an additional 1-1/2 percent supplemental loan origination fee for the portion of the loan which is allocated to rehabilitation when there are insured advances. Also, the lender may charge the mortgagor fees in the nature of discounts.

Length and Time Phasing of Assistance

The mortgage term may extend for 30 years.

 

Post Assistance Requirements

Reports

Defaults in meeting the mortgage terms must be reported. All approved mortgagees at any time upon request by FHA must furnish a copy of their latest financial statement.

Audits

The Department of Housing and Urban Development reserves the right to audit the account of the mortgagee to determine its compliance and conformance with FHA regulations and standards.
