Fannie Mae Multifamily Financing for Recently Rehabilitated Properties

Fannie Mae Insured Supplemental Loans for Moderately Rehabilitated Apartment Buildings and Multifamily Properties 

If you own a property that's recently undergone a moderate rehabilitation with Fannie Mae financing, and you need more funds, perhaps for additional improvements, a Fannie Mae Moderate Rehabilitation Supplemental Loan could be a great fit. Fannie Mae Moderate Rehabilitation Supplemental Loans have terms of between 5 and 30 years, and amortizations of up to 30 years, though they must end at the same time as the original moderate rehabilitation loan. These loans have a combined LTV allowance up to 75% (though this may be larger for affordable properties), are non-recourse, and are fully assumable with lender approval.
