    when determining the flood coverage do you use the total note amount which could include fees or do you use just the prinicpal amount given to the customer?

    Thanks

    You should use the actual amount of the loan, which includes any fees that are financed.

    What about when you have a large loan secured by several properties, how does that affect the amount you use for “the amount of the loan”? Right now I have a $322,000 loan secured by 6 duplexes, 4 of which are in special flood hazard areas requiring flood insurance. How much of the loan do I allocate to each of the 4 in the flood zone in this example for purposes of determining the lesser of the loan amount or max available?

    In your case were the 6 duplexes appraised separately? Or in the appraisal is there a breakdown of value per duplex that was determined on a cost-value? If so, I’d take the value of the 4 that are in the flood zone and determine the amount of insurance required by that.

    So you would take the total RCV of the 4 in SFHA and compare to the total loan amount?

    You need the lesser of the 3:
    – Outstanding balance (Loan amount)
    – Insuranble value (RCV is acceptable)
    – Max available through NFIP.

    So to answer your question, yes. If you have these specifically broken down in an appraisal, I wouldn’t bat an eye at using the RCV per dwelling. PM if necessary.

    **by “per dwelling”, I mean the total of the RCV per dwelling in an SFHA.

    I guess what I was getting at, was you wouldn’t lower the loan amount due to some of the collateral, 2 properties, not being in SFHAs? I would still factor in the TOTAL loan amount?

    No.
