Maria Gloria Aguirre -
Ms. Kelly Fry presented the loan application for Ms. Maria Gloria Aguirre, 918 Linda
Vista, under the Demolition & Replacement Loan Program. Ms. Aguirre will have an
840 sq. ft., 2 bedroom, 1 bath home constructed. She will be receiving a total of 2
loans, a 3% loan in the amount of$35,000 and a Deferred Forgivable loan for$20,000.
Ms. Aguirre's total loan amount is $55,000. Also, included is a $7,000 Relocation Grant
and a Demolition Grant in the amount of$7,600.
Ms. Aguirre's owner share responsibility was $3,315, with her son providing $1,000 she
was able to come up with the full amount. Ms. Fry recommending this loan for approval,
states that the City of Corpus Christi will have the first lien position on the property
which has clear title. Ms. Maria Aguirre has a gross monthly income of$1,750 and
does not receive food stamps. She has a credit score of 691 with one liability with a
monthly payment of$177, with the remaining balance on that liability totaling to about
$683. Maria Aguirre has low rates on her credit history. Her purposed housing ratio is
19% and debt to income is 11%.
Kelly Fry states that there was a change to the appraisal form and was renamed to
opinion of value as suggested. The opinion of value will factor in the development costs
along with the lot value, creating a proposed value of$64,045. Ms. Fry, at this time,
recommends the homebuyer be approved for the demo replacement program.
A motion was made by board member Mr. Bary Lobell to approve the loan as
presented, and seconded by board member Ms. Monique Espinosa. Chairwoman Alice
Vaughn states it's been moved and seconded that this loan has been approved as
written. She then asked if there was any further discussion regarding this loan
application. There being no further discussion Ms. Vaughn called for a vote. Motion
passed unanimously.
It was asked of the board member to look over the opinion of value form and if there are
any questions or feedback the board would like to provide, it would be helpful.
Ms. Fry also states that for future loans, she would like to obtain a final appraisal after
the construction is completed on the home.
Board member Barry Lobell asked Kelly if she was aware of the values on things and
asked if Ms. Fry thought this would be a low value.
Chairman Alice Vaughn quickly does the calculations to find out the value per square
foot, which totals out to $76.74.
Board member Barry Lobell then restates that this is a low estimate which is fine.
Kelly Fry states the house was currently appraised at $36,000, but considering the
condition of the home, which is what brought the price down.
Board member Ben Molina asks if there is an update on delinquencies and past due
accounts. Kelly replies there is no update and asks the board to explain to her how all
that's done including the procedures so that she can have all the appropriate
information.
Board member Barry Lobell replies that there was a person that showed the board how
many loans were current, how many were 30 days, or even 60 to 90 days past due. He
goes on to state there were some that weren't being serviced at all, which raised a
question as to why there weren't forecloses going on for the ones that had no payments
being made.
Ms. Fry reply's she has visited the attorney and they are currently working on a
foreclosure procedure in hopes of having something in place within the next few
months.
Board member Monique Espinosa asks if these buyers have to take the homebuyer
class.
Patsy Flores answers they are not homebuyers, they are homeowners; and because
they are homeowners, they are not required to take a homebuyer class. However, they
do council them on an individual bases.
ADJOURN:
A motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Barry Lobell and seconded. Motion passed
unanimously.
