We disbursed a loan 5 days ago on 65 acres, we had a verbal appraisal for the land. When the written appraisal came back, we found there is a barn on one of the parcels. We have now done a flood determination, but what would be our options for this loan as the funds have been disbursed without us knowing about the barn.
Options? - You mean besides paying the flood CMP if the building is in a flood zone? Verbal appraisal, what it that? Without an written appraisal or evaluation in your hand, you have a safety and soundness violation. There are some serious breakdowns in policy and procedure here that need to be corrected.

Agree with what you have said. But, should we do a refinance on the loan, so we can include the barn? The land has appraised out at over half a mil, and the loan is only for $130,000. Or do a release on the parcel that has the barn on it?
I am confused, why do you care if there is a barn? Or are you saying it is in a flood zone? If it is, get insurance or force place or release - bank decision.
