HUD 223(a)(7) Loans
HUD 223(a)(7) loans offer an affordable, streamlined refinancing option for existing HUD multifamily borrowers. Like other HUD multifamily loans, they are non-recourse, fully assumable, and offer low interest rates.
Affordable, Non-Recourse Refinancing for HUD Multifamily Loans
If you already have a HUD multifamily or healthcare loan, such as a HUD 223(f) loan, a HUD 232 loan, or a HUD 221(d)(4) loan, and you want to refinance it, you can easily do so with the HUD 223(a)(7) refinancing program. The program is specifically designed to refinance loans for current HUD multifamily borrowers, reducing interest rates and increasing amortization in order to improve a multifamily property's cash flow. In addition, any prepayment penalties can also be added to a borrower's HUD 223(a)(7) loan. This means that a developer won't have to provide much cash out-of-pocket if their original HUD multifamily loan is less than 10 years old. And, just like other HUD multifamily loans, HUD 223(a)(7) loans are non-recourse.
Plus, HUD 223(a)(7) loans require remarkably little documentation; all you need is a new project capital needs assessment (PNCA). At Commercial Real Estate Loans, we understand that HUD multifamily loans are one of the most affordable and effective ways to purchase multifamily and apartment properties. We also know that HUD 223(a)(7) loans are the best way to refinance them.
