Formula and Matching Requirements
Formula and Matching Requirements: For most families, the maximum amount of the loan is the same as under Section 203(b) - program 14.117. The downpayment is the difference between the maximum loan amount and the purchase price of the home, or the estimated value, whichever is less. In addition, the purchaser must pay all items of prepaid expense. Special terms are available for qualified veterans. A one-half percent mortgage insurance premium is required. The loan origination charge by the mortgagee varies but may not normally exceed one percent of the total mortgage. Mortgagors may be charged appraisal and inspection fees in accordance with fee schedules established by HUD.
Length and Time Phasing of Assistance
The mortgage term may extend for 30 years, except 35 years if the mortgagor is unacceptable under a 30 year term and the property was constructed subject to HUD or VA inspection.
Post Assistance Requirements
Reports
Defaults in meeting the mortgage terms must be reported. All approved mortgagees at any time upon request by HUD must furnish a copy of their latest financial statement.
Audits
