(2) If the Development is sold and the proposed transferee does not meet the criteria for assumption of the loan, the HOME loan shall be repaid from the proceeds of the sale. If there will be insufficient funds available from the proposed sale of the Development, the HOME loan shall not be satisfied until the Corporation has received: (a) An appraisal prepared by an appraiser selected by the Corporation indicating that the purchase price for the Development is reasonable and consistent with existing market conditions;(b) A certification from the Applicant that the purchase price reported is the actual price paid for the Development, as supported by a copy of the final executive purchase and sale agreement, and that no other consideration passed between the parties, as supported by a draft and final closing statement, and that the income reported to the Corporation during the term of the loan was true and accurate; and, (c) A certification from the Applicant that there are no Development funds available to repay the loan and the Applicant knows of no source from which funds could or would be forthcoming to pay the loan.(d) The proposed transferee will pay an amount equal to the present value of the annual compliance monitoring fee for the years for which the Development will have a set-aside for Very Low-Income persons or households beyond the repayment date. Such amount shall be reduced by the amount of any compliance monitoring fees collected by the Corporation for the Development for that period, provided: 1. The compliance monitoring fee covers some or all of the period following the anticipated HOME repayment date; and, 2. The Development has substantially equivalent set-asides for Very Low-Income persons or households mandated through another program of the Corporation for which the compliance monitoring fee was collected.(3) The Corporation may renegotiate and extend the loan in order to extend or retain the availability of housing for the target population.

In addition to any related professional fees, the Corporation shall charge a non-refundable extension fee of one-tenth of one percent of the HOME loan principal amount. The applicable fee will be determined by the rule in effect at the time of the extension request.
(4) The Corporation will recommend that the Board approve requests for mortgage loan refinancing only if Development cash flow is improved, the Development's economic viability is maintained, the security interest of the Corporation is not adversely affected, and the Credit Underwriter provides a positive recommendation.(5) The Corporation will recommend that the Board deny any requests for mortgage loan refinancing which require extension of the HOME loan term or otherwise adversely affect the security interest of the Corporation unless the criteria outlined in subsection 67-48.0205(3), F.A.C., are met, the Credit Underwriter recommends that the approval of such a request is crucial to the economic survival of the Development or unless the Board determines that public policy will be better served by the extension as a result of the Applicant agreeing to further extend the Compliance Period or provide additional amenities or resident programs suitable for the resident population. Further, the Corporation will recommend that the Board limit any approved extension to a minimum term which makes the Development feasible and which does not exceed an industry standard term. All requests which only require subordination of the regulatory agreements must be submitted in writing to the Special Assets Director and contain the specific details of the subordination. In addition to any related professional fees, the Corporation shall charge a non-refundable subordination fee of $1,000 for each regulatory agreement to be subordinated. The applicable fee will be determined by the rule in effect at the time of the subordination request.
All requests which only require extension of the affordability period under the regulatory agreements must be submitted in writing to the Special Assets Director and contain the specific details of the extension. In addition to any related professional fees, the Corporation shall charge a non-refundable extension fee of $1,000 for each extension of the regulatory agreement. The applicable fee will be determined by the rule in effect at the time of the extension request.
