FHA Condominium Project Approval Seminar
This week will be a short one for me as there is an FHA Condominium Project Approval Seminar tomorrow, September 24, in the Philadelphia Homeownership Center.
I am excited about this seminar for a number of reasons.
First of all, HUD has not offered many of these since it updated its guidance with condominium project approvals in 2009. I attended the last one 2 years ago – almost to the day! – and every industry call and webinar that HUD has hosted. I prefer the live seminars because they are highly interactive.
I will get to meet many of the folks with whom I have been working but have never met face-to-face. Much of business is so impersonal and dealing with someone over the phone who you have never met is very different than with someone whom you have had a personal conversation.
As my business continues to grow, I will be communicating with these fine people much more often. It will benefit both of us to have learned a little about each other and to place a face with a name.
I LOVE knowledge about particular topics. If I am to be an expert in this field, I need to be constantly seeking information about it. My two favorite avenues to increasing my aptitude about condo project approvals are from seminars/webinars and from people asking me questions. I greatly enjoy fielding phone calls from folks asking me questions. Besides increasing my fluency of the topic, it typically gives me a blog article.
I will get to ask questions! I have dealt with many different project reviewers and they are all different. I wrote about the subjectivity in project approvals a couple of months back and I typically get varying answers to the same questions from different reviewers. This will give me an opportunity to pose these questions to a supervisor for clarification.
The Philadelphia Homeownership Center is housed in the Wanamaker Building (pictured above) which I hear is an architectural beauty and I am intrigued by unique buildings.
Last but not least, it gets me out of Connecticut! I long for any day which gets me out of this state. If my kids weren’t rooted here, I'm sure that I would be somewhere else.
So, I wouldn’t expect to hear from me tomorrow but expect a flurry of articles over the upcoming week.
