If you are a branch manager, loan originator or processor with construction lending experience or would like to offer construction lending products please, reach out to Brad Cahoone at 972-724-3222 ext. 227. Don't get left behind your competition!

Flood Insurance And The Government

On Dec. 8, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) was set to expire. Late last week Congress passed, and the President signed, a two-week spending bill to avoid a government shutdown, allowing an extension on the NFIP to 12/22. In the simplest terms, if the NFIP expires, virtually no homes in any floodplain could be bought or sold if that deal involves a mortgage company because anyone buying a home with a federally-backed loan is required to carry flood insurance if that house sits in a flood plain. Any way to run a country? We need a long term solution and need to stop "kicking the can down the road."
