A customer applied to purchase OREO property here at the bank that has a building that appears to be a 1-4. There is no water or septic. The building only has stud walls. The building was previously used for storage. The customer put purpose as purchase property and install well and septic. The LO put on the credit write-up that the customer wanted to purchase for future use as a primary residence. The loan amount applied for $30,000. The building is uninhabitable and would take an extensive amount of money to make inhabitable. The OREO officer submitted a memo stating that the buildings use is only appropriate for storage at this time. The app was declined. Would you report as a purchase of a 1-4 even though we know it isn't a 1-4 as of now and the customer was not borrowing enough to covert it?

The LO put on the credit write-up that the customer wanted to purchase for future use as a primary residence.

How do you refute the applicant's intention regardless of the property's current condition?

He could very well have been planning to make future improvements with out of pocket money, Loews credit, Menard's credit, Home Depot credit, loan from another FI, etc.

I believe the Getting it Right guide says you can rely on the stated intentions of the borrower as to their intended use of the proceeds. Because the customer indicated that they wanted to turn this building into their primary residence, I would report this as a purchase of a primary residence, just like any other purchase transaction where the borrower currently has a primary but is moving into the house being purchased...
