HUD 223(a)(7) Loans for Refinancing Current HUD Multifamily Debt
For investors and developers who already have a HUD multifamily loan, a HUD 223(a)(7) loan is often the best way to refinance it.
HUD 223(a)(7) refinances are designed to reduce interest rates, increase amortization, and ultimately, improve cash flow for properties, reducing the risk of a default. Unlike other HUD multifamily loans, which typically require significant paperwork, applying for a HUD 223(a)(7) refinance is relatively hassle-free, and these loans can close in as little as 60 days. Plus, HUD 223(a)(7) loans usually require only one third-party report, a project capital needs assessment (PCNA), in comparison to the several usually required to apply for a HUD 223(f) or HUD 221(d)(4) loan.
