Coastal Barrier Zones and Mortgage Loans

6/9/2011

5 Comments

 
 I just sold a home in a Coastal Barrier Zone, better known as a COBRA zone, but we had to change the buyer's financing from an FHA loan to a Conventional loan at the last minute.
 
VA and FHA loans are not available in COBRA zones because the Coastal Barrier Resources Act removed the Federal government from financial involvement associated with building and development of these protected areas. Communities may permit development in these areas, provided the development meets the Flood Insurance Rate Maps.
 
But as a buyer you will be required to go with a Conventional loan and a higher down payment if you plan to purchase a home in the COBRA zone. You can check to see if the property you plan to purchase is in a COBRA zone by visiting FEMA.com, then you will not be caught off guard at the last moment with the wrong type of loan.

If you talk to anyone who sews, they will let you know that the sewing machine is the perfect utilitarian invention of the last 200 years, by far. The sewing machine lets you make your own clothing, bedding, quilts and decorative items quickly and skillfully. A sewing machine makes quick work of stitching pieces of material together.

    Our Beaches.....that is what brings most to the area.  Once I saw this area I could not wait to get here for good.  Now that I am here, I can't think of a place I would rather be, unless it is a few miles up or down the beach!!
