[StBernard] SBA Approval in St. Bernard?

[Westley Annis]

I don't know about all the legal aspects, but I do sympathize with you and
maybe we can help each other. We are not in a flood zone (7 feet sealevel
and house is elevated 2 feet but we still got 5 foot of water, but we will
be putting our house on the market as soon as it is ready (6 months?). If
you would like to keep in touch, you can e-mail me at

	Has anyone been approved for a loan by SBA to relocate in St.
Bernard 
	Parish? If so, have they put any stipulations on where you can buy
in the 
	parish? 
	
	I'm currently in the oil zone and would like to relocate in St.
Bernard. 
	The property that I was looking to purchase is in zone A. A flood
zone. 
	
	1. I was told I could relocate in St.Bernard but I could not
relocate in a 
	flood zone. I explained If this happens again, we'll all get flooded
again 
	whether we're in a flood zone or not. 
	
	2. I was also told I would not get the full loan amount if I
relocate 
	unless I can prove that I can not go back to living in my current
home. I 
	would need to show proof from the city that my property would become
green 
	space or any other reason that the parish will not let me rebuild on
my 
	current property. If I tell t he guy I'm in the oil zone his next
question 
	will be did I settle. Once again deducting more from the amount they
will 
	lend me. 
	
	Please help, I'd appreciate any advice on this matter. 
	
	Thanks,
