1) Customer is the lender of a negotiable property agreement
An ALTCS customer has a property agreement with his cousin. The terms of the contract are as follows:
The customer’s cousin must pay $1,300 each month to pay the balance of $150,000 in exchange for the customer’s property.
There is no interest on the amount owed.
The contract does not state that it is non-negotiable.
According to the payment schedule, $125,000 is still owed on the property agreement at the time of application. Since the property agreement does not clearly state that it is non-negotiable, the remaining principal balance of $125,000 is a countable resource to the customer. The $1,300 payments made to the customer are counted as a resource and not counted as income.
