In order to qualify for Nat Coop Bank's loan for mixed income housing coop, we have to have a majority of members whose income is equal to or less than 85% of the local annual median family?1;2c?1;2c income. Based on the county the land is in, that's $32,200. But that's a poor rural county and our members live and work in the two larger metropolitan counties so we should be able to include those figures and average the three. We have been told to expect to come up with 30% out of pocket and that they will finance 70% of appraised value. Self-Help isn't set up to do construction loans but will give us a poermanent mortgage, making it easier to get a construction loan since it's payoff is guarenteed by the long term mortgage. Lenders in this area aren't excited about financing condos since they were tremendously overbuilt here and aren't selling. We are building in phases, Phase 1 is roads, pond repair, wells and a community septic system, and probably 4 houses. Members of the phase 1 group are getting together their financial statements and their house plans. We're considering strawbale construction, so some of it will be owner built. When we have that all together, Blue Heron Corp will start the loan process with Coop Bank. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the feedback.
