New HUD Loan Policy Change

On today’s show we are reporting on a change to financing rules in the US that stand to improve the numbers for multi family apartment projects.

We are talking about the HUD financing. This is more difficult financing to get than agency debt like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. But it is superior financing. There are several different loan types. I’m going to focus on the HUD 223F loan, but everything I’m about to say also applies to the HUD 221D4 which is a construction loan combined with a permanent loan. The reason we are talking about it now is the result of a new policy change is part of a new announcement .

Under the existing rules you can save up to 0.35% on your annual MIP with the Green MIP Reduction program for HUD 223(f) loans. This also applies to new construction loans like the 221d4.

The policy change eliminates the distinction for Green loans and normalizes the mortgage insurance premium at 0.25% for all multi-family loans. This reduction in rate means that all other things being equal, you could borrow 4% more in loan principal for the same monthly loan payment.
