Verbatim regulatory text
Verbatim provisions from VA Lenders Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7), Chapter 12, Topic 42 — Modular Homes — each quote is a verified substring of the regulator-published source snapshot, not retyped. Quoted for reference; this is not legal advice. The operational layer (P&P updates, prompts) lives in the regulation update kits.
VA Pamphlet 26-7, Chapter 12 (Minimum Property Requirement), Topic 42 — Modular Homes
• This chapter has been revised in its entirety. a. State/Local Codes Modular homes must meet all state and local building codes. b. Comparable Sales The appraiser will typically treat modular housing and on-frame modular housing in the same manner as conventionally built housing. The appraiser must select comparable sales that would be competing properties on the market which may include modular homes, conventionally built homes, or manufactured homes. c. On-frame Modular Home Requirements On-frame modular housing is factory built on a permanent chassis. The appraiser must ensure that: • all running gear is removed, • the crawl space is covered by a vapor barrier with vented permanent masonry skirting, • the skirting has an access hatch, and • the home is secured to a permanent foundation that meets state and local requirements.
Operationalizing VA Lenders Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7), Chapter 12, Topic 42 — Modular Homes
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
