West Sacramento, Calif. — RCAC is hosting a Section 502 direct loan packaging training in Portland, Oregon, November 17 – 19 at the Double Tree by Hilton Portland. This three-day advanced course will cover USDA RD’s Section 502 direct loan program and provide invaluable insight as to how this homeownership financing resource can be used in your communities.

Learn how your organization can assist potential borrowers and partner with RD staff in your state to deliver successful Section 502 loan packages. Through this course participants will learn the loan program regulations and practical applications. Participants will develop a strong understanding of 502 direct underwriting and packaging standards, which will ensure that submitted loan dockets are complete and ready for processing.

This advanced course is for those experienced in using Section 502. The course is also excellent for Mutual Self-Help Housing grantees who want to build their skills in packaging loans for participating households.

Early bird registration rates end November 1, and a limited number of sleeping rooms at a discounted rate are available until October 25, or until the room block is sold out.
