What's New - APPS Update Reminder
  
"Update your previous participation at the applicant level before submitting to HUD" is a new red warning that appears at the Certification stage of each APPS submission.  This friendly reminder from HUD, added during the May 1 upgrade, seems to be causing some confusion around the country.
  
This is not a new requirement, simply a reminder HUD has added.   You must always update your Schedule A list of Previous Participation before any new HUD 2530 submission, whether you file paper or electronic. 
  
A good rule of thumb is to update REAC and MOR scores on your paper 2530 or in APPS as soon as they are received.  Same goes for any changes in loan status, especially in the event of a default. (In APPS, simply update under "Edit Previous Participation") This will help you stay ahead of the curve.

Murphy Consulting is committed to helping you stay informed of HUD changes and providing you with resources to help you succeed.

REAC Tip of the Month - Weather

Did you know?

A copy of the recent local weather report can come in very handy during REAC Inspections or for an Appeal. 
  
Evidence of an unusually heavy rainfall event in the past 24 hours can mitigate a finding if there is ponding evident.
  
Contact Denise Murphy to learn more about how we can help you resolve HUD Flags or for a referral to a qualified REAC Inspection  firm.
