Flexible loan size: no maximum. Majority of loans are above $15million.
Fixed rate: Interest rate will not increase during the life of the loan. The HUD construction loan has a term of 40 years with 3 years of flexibility with construction. Attracting investors.
Non-recourse: developers and investors do not have to sign a Personal Guarantee (PG). The lender cannot repossess their property to repeat the loan if they default on their mortgage.
High Loan-to-value ratio (LTV): developers can get a larger loan with less money. To qualify, 85% LTV, properties that are affordable 87% LYV, finally properties 90% or more low-income units with a huge 90% LTV. The risker the loan the higher the LTV has of defaulting on their mortgage because of minimum equity in property.
