Would the fair market value used in the price differential payment calculation differ if the agency offered to acquire the entire lot and the owner did not wish to sell? Why?

Objectives (1) Now, you are able to... Understand better the processes involved in computing various replacement housing payments using realistic, complex situations Build on current knowledge and implement better the Uniform Act provisions; specifically:

Objectives (2) recognize the importance of collecting the pertinent information at the interview stage compute replacement housing payments for less than 90 day occupants compute replacement housing payments for 90 day occupants compute replacement housing payments for 180 day homeowner occupants
