I recently started a new CRA role for a different bank. The new bank does not use Call Report codes to identify small business/small farm loans. They use class codes and collateral codes. I recently learned for all construction to perm loans originated for more than one year, that they are adjusting the class code to reflect what the class code will be after the construction phrase rather than reporting the loan to what is at the time of origination. Does anyone agree with this approach?

Assume the following terms on a loan to an individual to purchase real estate: The purchase price is $100,000. The borrower wants to add an additional tract of land in lieu of paying any cash down. The land is owned free and clear and is valued at $30,000.
This results in a loan amount of $100,000 with total collateral value of $130,000 and a loan to value (LTV) of 77%.
Am I right in thinking that I will have a loan to cost exception and not an LTV exception? This loan would not need to be reported against the banks 30% of capital limit on commercial real estate exceptions.

We had an auditor tell us that we needed to get the signers of an LLC to initial the "Joint Application for Credit" where the LLC is the only borrower. We disagree with that. There should not be a Joint Application for Credit for this loan. Has anyone else had this problem? What's the best way to handle the auditor and the loan?
