Question for you FHA experts...

Sec 221 (d)(4)

I believe this is the FHA product that provides mortgage insurance for the construction of multi family projects, not the rehab, I think that’s (d)(3). Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

I was told that there is actually a 5% contractors credit on the backend somehow so it actually makes the LTV 94-95%.

Am I understanding this correctly? Maybe someone can clear this up a little for me. Thanks in advance for the help.

Do a search for ‘patty porter’ and send her a message. She should be able to help you. You might try ‘ezloanz’ as well he is very knowledgable about FHA. Hope this helps.

The 221d is a new construction and/or rehab for MFH commercial properties—in some circumstances, up to an 8% developer fee is allowed (usually in low income apartment development projects), bringing your max. LTV to 98%.
