You will start a new mortgage, which in many cases requires an appraisal, title search, and application fees. 39

BEFORE YOU REFINANCE YOUR MPDU Facts you need to know MPDU Refinancing You cannot refinance your MPDU for more than the MPDU price at the time of the refinance.

You cannot owe more money on your MPDU than the MPDU price at any time. MPDU Owners Are Not Permitted to Refinance an MPDU with a Reverse Mortgage. The reverse mortgage program assumes that a housing unit has a "fair market" value (FMV). MPDUs Do Not Have a Fair Market Value (FMV) During the Resale Price Control Period. 40

For MPDUs out of controls: Request a shared profit calculation from the MPDU office.

Please answer T (True) or F (False) in the following statements: True False The purpose of the MPDU program is to provide affordable housing in Montgomery County. I sold my home in Texas two years ago. I can now buy an MPDU. I never owned a home, but my spouse has. We can buy an MPDU. The control period for MPDUs is 30 years from the date of settlement. The MPDU Program will give me a loan to pay for my MPDU. The MPDU Random Selection Drawing establishes a priority list for selling new and resale MPDUs. I applied for the MPDU Program, but my certificate is expired. I can still participate in the Random Selection Drawing. The MPDU and HOC programs are the same. My household size is one person. I can’t buy a 3-bedroom townhouse, unless it is a resale and no other certificate holder wants to buy it. If I decide to buy another home, I can rent out my MPDU. I am applying to the MPDU Program with my Aunt Sally. She is not working, but she is listed on my income taxes as my dependent. I can count her as part of my household. 61

HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MPDUs? Continues I bought an MPDU and I need to add or delete a name on the deed. The MPDU staff will do it for me. I can sell my MPDU to my adult daughter/son without contacting the MPDU office. Once the control period expires, I can sell my MPDU at market price. I will have to give the County 50% of the extra profit so that the County can use the funds to provide more affordable housing in Montgomery County. I bought an MPDU eight years ago as a single parent. Now I am getting married and buying a house with my husband. My son is an adult now and is still living in the MPDU, so I am fulfilling the “Owner Occupancy” rule for the MPDU. My husband and I bought an MPDU together, but we are now getting divorced. I can continue to live there with my children, if he agrees to leave the home to me. I can refinance my MPDU for the appraised market value. I can sell my MPDU that is still under control period, to anyone I want at the price I want. Montgomery County 311or 240-777-0311 is the designated number for the MPDU office if I have a question that is not covered in my class material or I cannot find the answer on the MPDU website. 62
