(OT) New Versions of Residential Finance Survey Files will be available soon

A few changes have been made to both data files -- Renters and Homeowners. The new versions should be posted later today or possibly tomorrow.
      The variable YRACQ (Year Acquired) on both datasets is being rounded to the nearest 5 for years earlier
      than 1990. The years 1990 and above are left as they came in, i.e., single years. There were
      three rental property records that had bad ORIGAMT1 or MTGBAL1. They have been fixed.
We will also be adding two documents which contain information about top coded values for the two files:
        • Renter and Vacant Units Top Coding Values and Cut-offs
        • Homeowners Units Top Coding Values and Cut-offs
Finally, the two documentation files have undergone slight editing changes. The formatting has been revised to allow more spacing between variables, and some typos have been corrected.
