NRTDA Sets FHA-Deqler Meefings

A number of federated associations of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn. are holding meetings to better acquaint their dealer members with programs and procedure of the Federal Housing Administration. In July, meetings were held in Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and South Carolina on an experimental basis. The results of these meetings are now iir and the meetings were, without question, highly successful and well received.

At each of the meetings the following FHA officials participated: Zone Operations Commissioner, State (or district). Director, Chief of Operations, Chief Underwriter, Chief Valuator, Chief Architect, Chief of Mortgage Credit and Title I Representative (Washington, D.C.). Where possible, it is also helpful to have a representative of the Voluntary Home Mortgage Credit Committee on the program.

From the experience gained from the trial meetings and frorn the suggestions received from those who participated, a suggested format or agenda has been prepared. In some instances it will be found that the State Director of FHA can moderate the meetings. At other meetings the Managing Officer or the Association President may wish to moderate the meeting

A "Financing Guide" was prepared by the NRLDA in cooperation with FHA to use at the first group of meetings and will be available for future meetings on order from the secretaries. This Guide carries the name of the federated association on the cover. The Guide has completed forms for examples, for both Title I Home Improvement Loans and Sec. 203 Sales Housing. There is also a brief explanation preceding each section.

For future meetings the cost of the Guide will not exceed $1.25 each to the federated association, plus shipping charges. At the first group of meetings a charge was made of those attending of $5.00, which was adequate to defray this cost plus the meeting cost.
