Benefits of FHA Financing

Available for affordable and market rate housing, as well as healthcare and assisted living facilities, FHA-insured financing offers multifamily developers, owners and sponsors advantages that other loan programs typically don't have, including:

  • Lowest available, long-term fixed interest rates;​​

​​

  • Flexibility in underwriting and rate locks can allow for more creative finance structures;​

​​

  • Longer loan terms - standard 35- to 40-years;​

​​

  • Higher loan-to-value (LTV) ratios (87-90% for affordable housing);​

​​

  • Lower debt service coverage minimums (1.11 to 1.15 for affordable housing);​​

​​

  • FHA-insured mortgages are non-recourse.

  • Construction financing converts to a permanent loan without performance requirements;​​

​​

  • Less costly and more favorable pre-payment terms;​

​​

  • FHA-insured mortgages are assumable;​

​​

  • Reduced MIP for affordable and energy efficient developments (25 - 35 bps);​

​​

  • FHA mortgage insurance can provide a AAA credit enhancement for bond issuances.​​
