1980.351—Requests for reservation of funds.
Upon receipt of a viable loan application and prior to loan underwriting, the Lender may request a reservation of loan guarantee funds for the loan application. The request should be made as follows:
(a)
The Lender must have a complete application on file that clearly indicates the borrower has sufficient qualifying income and an adequate credit history.
(b)
The reservation shall be valid for 60 days. The Lender must submit a request for a loan guarantee on or before the expiration date of the reservation. Substitutions of borrowers or dwellings are not authorized.
(c)
Reservations may be granted only when adequate funding authority is available. Reservations are subject to the availability of funds. Reservations will not exceed 90 percent of the funds available during that quarter.
(e)
All reservations will expire at the end of 60 days or no later than the pooling date published in subpart L of part 1940 whichever occurs first.
