In cases where an applicant other- <br />wise qualifies for an interest payment, and <br />upon his specific request, the Sponsor may <br />make an advance payment into escrow prior <br />to the displaced person's moving. <br />(4) On property with partial acquisition only, <br />the following will apply: <br />(a) Where the dwelling is located on a <br />tract normal for residential use in the <br />area, the interest payment will be <br />reduced to the percentage ratio that <br />the acquisition price bears to the be- <br />fore value; except, the reduction will <br />not apply when the mortgagee re- <br />quires the entire mortgage balance <br />to be paid because of the acquisition <br />and it is necessary to refinance. <br />(b) Where a dwelling is located on a <br />tract larger than normal for residen- <br />tial use in the area, the interest pay- <br />ment will be reduced to the percent- <br />age ratio that the value of the <br />residential portion bears to the before <br />value. This reduction will apply <br />whether or not it is required that the <br />entire mortgage balance be paid. <br />(5) The interest payment on multiuse properties <br />will be reduced to the percentage ratio that <br />the residential value of the multiuse property <br />bears to the before value. <br />(6) If a dwelling is located on a tract where the <br />fair market value is established on a higher <br />and better than residential use, and if the <br />mortgage is based on residential value, the <br />interest payment will be computed as pro- <br />vided in the appropriate paragraphs above. <br />If the mortgage is obviously based on the <br />58 <br />higher use, however, the interest payment <br />will be reduced to the percentage ratio that <br />the estimated residential value of the parcel <br />has to the before value. <br />d.

Such <br />costs may include the following items if nor- <br />mally paid by the buyer: <br />(a) Legal, closing, and related costs in- <br />cluding title search, preparing con- <br />veyance contracts, notary fees, sur- <br />veys, preparing drawings or plats and <br />charges paid incident to recordation. <br />(b) Lenders, FHA or VA appraisal fees. <br />(c) FHA or VA application fee. <br />(d) Certification of structural soundness <br />when required by lender, FHA or VA. <br />(e) Credit report. <br />(f) Title policy or abstract of title. <br />(g) Escrow agent's fee. <br />(h) State revenue stamps. <br />(i) Sales or transfer taxes. <br />(2) No fee, cost, charge or expense is reimbursa- <br />ble as incidental expenses which is deter- <br />mined to be a part of the debt service, or <br />finance charge under the Truth in Lending <br />Act, title I (Public Law 90-321) and Reg- <br />ulation Z issued by the Board of Governors <br />of the Federal Reserve System. <br />e. Combined Payments Not To Exceed $15,000. <br />If an owner -occupant is otherwise qualified for a <br />payment in the manner described in this paragraph <br />but has previously received a payment under pro- <br />cedures described in paragraph 93, the amount of <br />such payment received shall be deducted from the <br />amount to which he is entitled in the manner de- <br />scribed in this paragraph. In no event may the <br />combined payments exceed $15,000. <br />f. Owner Retention. The replacement housing <br />payment for a displaced person who has retained <br />his dwelling from the acquired property should be <br />computed in accordance with the guides of the <br />appropriate paragraph below. <br />(1) If the dwelling is decent, safe, and sanitary, <br />the payment, if any, should be the amount <br />by which the costs to move the retained <br />
