It sounds like I missed a good first meeting, but am looking forward to the second on May 27th. I am a NEW HI, having just today received my EIN, after receiving my LLC. See you all there.

Igor,
A question for your meeting tomorrow, see if Larry Ott can clarify this statement.
See the following statement from the HUD/FHA
http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/faqs/faqs_sf.cfm#Q17
Question: Who pays for the home inspection?
Answer: You, the homebuyer, pay for the inspection. FHA, however, will allow up to $300 of the cost of the inspection as part of the down payment requirement. Back to Top
I have asked mortgage people around my area and have received the resounding that this is a misleading statement. To consider taking advantage of this offer would mean receiving payment from closing proceeds. (Not a great idea)
However the way it reads to me for what it is worth: I see this as the customer pays AA Home Inspection at the time of the deal and the receipt up to $300 is a credit at the closing table.
(Obviously to simple)
This applies to Home Inspections performed on customers applying for FHA, this site also clearly identifies the ?FHA inspection? is not a home inspection.
I would like to be able to tell my customers that they can use this as a credit, sounds like a free inspection to the customer.
Thanks,

I talked to Larry Ott. He said he’s not kidding. They’re bringing a bus full of inspectors from Pittsburgh to our next meeting. NYNACHI is becoming NENACHI (North East NACHI).
I'll get us a stadium for summer 2004.

Igor,
Looks like you NY guys are pulling together. Any input on the HUD/FHA question?
Thanks,

Hi Nick,
you may also like to add to that, that the education committee has decided that each chapter meeting will count as a I hr CEU, in doing so we recognise the Educational as well as social benefits of these meetings.
Just wish I could come down there again myself 
Regards
Gerry

Igor,
Let's not forget to let prospective attendes know that this month we have a special speaker joining us from Cornell University's Horticulture Labs to talk with us about mold and indoor air quality. He's not a salesman, and doesn't represent a lab that's in the mold business. He's there to provide some guidance and answer questions in a common sense and direct manner, from a non-biased standpoint. Should be refreshing...

Joe’s the only guy I know that can level shots at last month’s speakers in an announcement about this month’s speaker.
Please keep Joe fed during this month's NY NACHI meeting. I can't be there to do it. Watch your fingers though.
Just kidding with you Joe.
Anyway, I'll post Igor's announcement on the front page.
Nick
