Section 8 Project-Based Rent Adjustments Need to review the specific section of your HAP Contract Three Basic Methods: – AAF – Budget-Based Rent Increase – OCAF (for LIHPRHA)

Section 8 Project-Based Rent Adjustments (contd) Special Adjustments: For substantial general increases in real property taxes, assessments, utility rates, security costs and other similar costs beyond control of the owner.

Financial Requirements

Audits – This Is A Regulatory Agreement And Increasingly, HAP Requirement (usually) – – Hot topic – Repayment of Advances – Project v. Owner – – Common concept creating conflict *

Your FHA Loan is Non-recourse Sort Of REACs MOR Integrity of Site Records Managers – Good Samaritan Can Hurt Use Agreements

Inspections

Real Estate Assessment Center – REAC – 170 points to reach 100 point scale Management Inspection – includes physical inspection – Satisfactory/unsatisfactory scoring Curb appeal v. Credibility

ThisOldHouse Home Inspection Nightmares (Click to See Next Slide)

What a Trip Photo: Charles A. Gabriels, InspectionsRus This bathroom outlet is not a GFCI. Thank providence, this homeowner had the presence of mind to leave all of the tags on, advising of potential shock hazard, should one carelessly remove the tags.

Circulation Photo: Ron Passaro, ASHI founder Here's another brilliant idea: Keep the supply & return registers close together so the hot air can flow freely back to the furnace.

One has to wonder Photo: Tom Brooks, Extra Mile Home Inspections The top photo shows an unprotected light bulb in a homeowner-constructed shower in the basement of a home I inspected. As if that wasn't bad enough, the second photo shows that in that same bathroom, he located a switch INSIDE the shower stall!

Growth in the Real Estate Market Photo: Scott Scheuer, Protection Plus Home Inspections What does the Standards of Practice say about "tree houses"?
