Rehabilitation
Program Services
AmeriNational offers a comprehensive menu of services to meet the
needs of housing rehabilitation programs. We understand the funding
source requirements utilized in these programs, including CDBG and
HOME. By utilizing AmeriNational's depth of service capabilities,
the Agency can streamline their rehab program by reallocating staff
time to managing "projects" - not paper. The Agency can choose from
our service menu by selecting those services that best fit their
program goals. The following is an overview of how some Agencies
integrate our full service menu into their housing rehabilitation
program.
Loan Processing And Underwriting
AmeriNational begins service delivery for a rehabilitation program
once a completed loan application is received by the Agency. Within
five working days, AmeriNational delivers a Preliminary Risk Analysis
(PRA) that recommends whether to continue processing. This approach
minimizes Agency staff time by avoiding costly site visits and work
write-ups for ineligible applicants. Upon Agency approval of the
PRA, AmeriNational begins the verification process by ordering outside
services, such as, title and appraisals. Once the borrower has selected
a contractor and bid amount, AmeriNational will deliver a Final
Loan Recommendation (FLR) of approval/denial. Agency staff time
is spent managing case loads, not shuffling paper.
Loan Document Preparation
Once the Agency has approved the FLR, AmeriNational prepares the
required documents with an attention to detail, supported by years
of experience with government documents. Documents are executed
with the borrower by the Agency or by AmeriNational's agent. AmeriNational
then records the Agency's lien position after the borrower's Right
of Rescission period has expired.
Construction Fund Disbursements
The Agency places total loan proceeds into escrow with AmeriNational.
AmeriNational disburses funds (same day as requested), according
to the instructions and/or authorizations for payment, signed by
the Agency. The general contractor and Agency staff benefit by receiving
timely progress payments. The check can be sent directly to the
payee or back to the Agency. For no additional cost, AmeriNational
will monitor contingency and retention. |
