Atlanta HOC Master Conditional Commitments and Master Appraisal Reports

 Information by State
 Print version
 

As per HUD Handbook 4000.4, paragraph 3-18, Section 234(c), cases may be processed under the Direct Endorsement program. Therefore, field offices will no longer issue Master Conditional Commitments (MCC) but rather Master Appraisal Reports (MAR) will be processed by the Direct Endorsement Underwriter. 
MAR PROCESSING RELATING TO CONDOMINIUMS:
Condominium approval is per HUD Handbook 4150.1, Rev-1, Chapter 11. Individual Condominium Unit Appraisal Report (March 2005), Mortgagee Letter 2005-48; 4150.2, D-3, pgs. D80-D104.
LENDER MAR REQUESTS FOR CONDOMINIUMS:
The Environmental Assessment is completed by the Homeownership Center (HOC). At the same time the Environmental Assessment is being reviewed, the lender must submit the documents required for project approval (HUD Handbook 4150.1, Rev-1,11-5C) to the HOC. MAR processing can only be requested for an approved condominium or a condominium with a pending approval. If requested simultaneously, the MAR will be held until either a pending or unconditional approval is granted by the HOC.
LENDER SUBMITS: (All project types)

1) A written request for approval of a MAR, along with the name of the fee appraiser (including ID number) and the name of the fee inspector (including ID number).
2) The lender completes HUD Form 91322, blocks 1, 4-7, and checks the applicable boxes of the "Specific Commitment Conditions". The name and ID number of the fee inspector should be entered in "Specific Commitment Conditions" block(3).
3) In addition, the name and ID number of the appraiser is required.
4)
Fill out page 2 listing lot/block, etc.

The HOC will process the request and block the case numbers. Upon the receipt of the case numbers, they will be forwarded to the lender. The underwriter must review the completed appraisal for acceptability and execute form HUD 91322 by signing block (9). The executed 91322, along with the URAR for each model (pilot case), must be forwarded to the HOC for activation.

NOTE: THE CASE NUMBERS CANNOT BE ACTIVATED UNTIL THE ABOVE INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO THE HOC ALONG WITH THE APPRAISAL REPORTS. THE HOC STAFF INPUTS THE APPRAISED VALUE AND ACTIVATES THE CASE NUMBERS. NO LOANS CAN BE ENDORSED UNTIL CASE NUMBERS ARE ACTIVATED AND ALL CONDITIONS ARE CLEARED ON PENDING APPROVAL PROJECTS.

The remainder of the process is the same as with any other FHA loan. The lender is responsible for the input of all other appraisal data on each individual case.

The final inspection is performed in accordance with HUD Handbook 4145.1. HUD 92051 is to be completed in accordance with HUD Handbook 4190.1 and the inspector is required to note the specific house type and all alternatives (modifications and/or upgrades) provided by the builder and that are shown on the 91322.1 and/or 91322.2.

BUILDER RESPONSIBILITY:
The builder should ensure that the number of lots in the application does not exceed a projected yearly production to avoid MAR extension requests.

EXTENSIONS: A MAR may be extended up to twelve months, but only for properties on which construction has started before expiration of the MAR. The request for extension (Form 91322.2) must be received prior to the expiration of the MAR.

Properties that are under contract but not under construction are not acceptable for extension.
