When “Loan Proceeds Used for Construction or Repair/Remodeling” (field 60136) has not been set, it defaults to “Yes” in ConformX if any of the following conditions are true:
- “Loan Purpose” is Construction Only or Construction to Perm
- “Refinance Loan, Purpose of Refinance” is Home Improvement
- “FHA Section Code” is 203k
- “Rehabilitation/Renovation Yes/No” is Yes
- “New Construction?” is Yes
Setting “New Construction?” to Yes designates a new home has been or will be constructed on the property. The new home could already be complete. Therefore, the “New Construction?” is Yes condition that currently defaults “Loan Proceeds Used for Construction or Repair/Remodeling” to Yes will be replaced with one based on the more precise “Building Status” (field 30404).
If “Building Status” is set to one of the following options, then “Loan Proceeds Used for Construction or Repair/Remodeling” will default to “Yes”:
- Incomplete
- Proposed Construction
- Subject To Alteration
- Subject To Repair
- Under Construction
