For Property Preservation - You Must Know The Rules!
This is the reference bible for anyone performing residential mortgage property preservation tasks such as lock changes, winterizations, boarding, grass cuts, pool securing, etc. on HUD properties. The NEW 2010 directive is about 16 pages. The included 2008 SUPERSEDED directive which contains inportant boarding and pool covering specifications is about 60 pages.
It lists all the specifications and cost allowables. We have consulted with HUD Headquarters in Washington, DC and made sure that it contains all the latest changes. This reference document is about 76 pages. The price for a paper copy is $35, including handling and shipping. You can also purchase a copy in a PDF format on a CD for $25 or download a PDF copy for $25.
The newest HUD guidelines were released on May 13, 2010. SOFI also provides a copy of the superseded 2008 HUD guidelines. When HUD published the new guidelines on May 13, 2010, they by mistake stripped out specifications on the bolt-boarding of windows, Los Angeles screening and platforms for covering a swimming pool. You will still need these important specifications.
The HUD Guidelines/Cost Allowables is a paperback with GBC plastic spiral bound as shown here. The document is about 76 pages. If you are looking for a flashy hardcover book, then do not order this document. This is a paperback with a paper cover.
