I've been lending for 26-years. Never heard that question before, and never had an issue before. Is this a concern a lender is bring up?

I'm not sure FHA has an actual "distance" requirement.. it's subject to the appraisers opinion.. but as Peter said.. a soil test is all that's required.. I've been doing loan for a long time, and I've only see this one time.. very, very rare.. but an easy fix.. I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com NMLS# 226347 / RPM Mortgage NMLS 1541014 / AZMB0121893

I agree with the previous responses. In over ten years originating Reverse mortgages, I have not run into this problem too many times even with cell tower's and water tower's. A soil and water test would be a great item to add to the loan file.

I live in New Jersey, and was previously denied a reverse mortgage. Due to living 150 ft from a gas station. They stated I need to be 350 ft. I will try the soil testing on appeal. Thanks for all of the great responses.
