Refinance/Moderate Rehab
While keeping all of the desirable features of the market rate acquisition loan program (low interest rate, fixed rate 35-year term), FHA offers more generous terms for affordable deals. The minimum debt service coverage for affordable deals with rental assistance can be as high as 1.11 and the loan to value can be as high as 90%. The FHA loan will finance rehabilitation hard costs up to 15% of the replacement cost of the project or $6,500 per unit. Normally, plans and specifications are not required so long as the work is described in sufficient detail. If you are looking to refinance and do some work on an affordable multifamily rental property, call us for a financing proposal, you might be surprised with what you get.

Sub Rehab
While keeping all of the desirable features of the market rate construction loan program (construction-perm, imputed developer fee, fixed rate 40-year term), FHA offers more generous terms for affordable deals. The minimum debt service coverage for affordable deals with rental assistance is an industry-leading 1.11 and the loan to cost limit is (also industry-leading) 90% -- and this isn’t accounting for the developer fee. In addition to bringing a thorough knowledge of FHA affordable housing finance programs, Rockhall personnel are familiar with the regulatory requirements and subsidy programs that apply to affordable housing developments.

New Construction
While keeping all of the desirable features of the market rate construction loan program (construction-perm, developer fee, fixed rate 40-year term), FHA offers more generous terms for affordable deals. The minimum debt service coverage for affordable deals with rental assistance is an industry-leading 1.11 and the loan to cost limit is (also industry-leading) 90% -- and this isn’t accounting for the developer fee. Recent developments in municipal finance have made FHA-insured 4% tax credit transactions using tax exempt bonds the deal to beat. If you haven’t considered financing your affordable multifamily transaction with FHA and municipal “short bonds,” please call us. You will like what you hear.

Acquisition
While keeping all of the desirable features of the market rate acquisition loan program (low interest rate, fixed rate 35-year term), FHA offers more generous terms for affordable deals. The minimum debt service coverage for affordable deals with rental assistance can be as high as 1.11 and the loan to acquisition cost can be as high as 90%. Projects with FHA financing in place can be very quickly refinanced by new buyers if no additional debt is sought. HUD won’t even require an appraisal. It is no longer necessary to choose between a great loan and a quick closing. For buyers of projects that aren’t currently FHA financed, Rockhall offers an acquisition bridge loan program that ensures a quick closing on the purchase. The bridge loan will be taken out by a low interest rate FHA permanent loan. If you are looking to buy an affordable multifamily rental property, call us for a financing proposal, you might be surprised with what you get.
