Just curious if anyone has applied or even following whether congress will appropriate more funds for the low interest loans for storm damage. Or is it unlikely. The only article I pulled up was Mike Johnson saying he felt sure they’d get something passed shortly following the election

I took out a SBA loan in 2016 after the floods around BR. They approved me for something like 100K, but I only took 25K. If it was 25k and under they did not put a lien on the house. I think it's 1.5% over like 20 years. Basically seemed like free money and greatly helped us in the rebuild.

The SBA pushes those loans on folks who can pay them back as I’m sure they will roll out a disaster recovery program with free fed $$$. The thing is if you take the loan, you may not be able to get the free fed $$$.

I thought Garrett Graves helped address the issue with SBA loan recipients not being eligible for grants/other benefits.

I took two of these out after investment properties were damaged in Florida about 7 years ago. A lot of hoops to jump through to get approved. They will only approve you for the amount that covers damage. Justifying the damage, and agreeing on replacement costs can be a pain. Their website for payments can be a pain in the arse. There is a lien on the home for the duration of the loan. The interest rates were extremely nice for borrowing money.
I did run into a situation where I took the loans out prior to getting insurance reimbursement. I didn’t want to wait for insurance to get things fixed. When I did collect the insurance SBA did come in and take that money and apply it to the loans. I didn’t think they would catch it and I thought I might have a double dip situation but they did indeed catch it on at least one property.
