VA Oversee Construction for Home Loan
Austin realtors met at the Stephen F. Austin Hotel where George W. Sandlin announced a new VA loan rule requiring homes to be VA supervised. The act defines a two year old or newer house as new for VA loan purposes and introduces an IBEC building plan promising 24 hour construction using concrete slabs and eight inch walls. The plan, used in Jerusalem for 5 000 homes starting April 17, could fit Texas multi house and large apartment projects. Sandlin will present a film next week and invite the Austin Builders Association to view it at noon Tuesday. Claude Wilson noted N A Giblin’s appointment as regional VP of the Texas Real Estate Association. Clint Little outlined a new earnest money receipt form replacing the old contract after recent legal issues.
