Any counties in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia that were previously suspended as part of Announcements 2018-56, 2018-60 and 2018-62 and DO NOT appear on the list above, will not require a subsequent inspection unless they appear on a future FEMA Declared Disaster update.

 

What you should know:

Funding/purchase for loans secured by properties in the above referenced counties remain suspended.

  • Loans secured by properties located in the states of North and South Carolina that do not appear on the above referenced counties may fund at this time. Property inspections will not be required unless a county is added to FEMA’s Presidentially Declared Disaster List.
  • Rate locks will be extended through Friday September 28th at no cost to the borrower. We will continue to monitor the need for additional extensions in the coming
  • Additional updates to add or remove impacted counties will occur as more information becomes available and flooding from cresting rivers begins to subside.
  • Once the suspension has been lifted, loans that have not yet been purchased that fall into impacted areas will require the appropriate inspection as outlined in New Penn Financials’ Disaster Policy, Chapter 9 Collateral Audit and Funding.

We will continue to monitor FEMA announcements as well as news and updates from local and state government agencies to provide updates as necessary.
