HB-1-3555, Chapter 6 gives lenders the option to escrow a borrower’s regularly scheduled principal, interest taxes, and insurance payment established at loan closing to make the loan payments during the construction period. USDA has confirmed that the due date on the note for the first payment on a “Single Close to Permanent Construction” loan is at the lender’s discretion.
New "Print Construction First Payment Date on Note" (FI 193980) allows the Construction First Payment Date (FI 541) to print for the first payment date on "3200 Fixed Rate Note 2021" (Cx25454) for RD/USDA Construction to Perm loans. The permanent First Payment Date (FI 750) will continue to print for these loans unless "Print Construction First Payment Date on Note" is set to “Yes” by custom standard value field mapping.
This change will be available for testing on Stage & Stage 2 servers and will take effect on March 13, 2026. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.
