FHA 221(d)4 Product Meets Borrower's Needs

AMI Capital, Inc. processed a $10.7 million construction and permanent loan on a Virginia apartment complex using its competitive FHA 221(d)4 product. AMI Capital's FHA Team offers HUD loan programs through its Bethesda, Atlanta and Denver offices.

AMI Capital processed the loan through the Richmond, Virginia HUD office at an interest rate of 7.75 percent. The 40-year non-recourse loan had a loan-to-cost of 89 percent and a debt service coverage of 1.17. The 150-unit, one- and two-bedroom complex will be built in Stafford, Virginia.

"We are very excited about HUD's new MAP (Multifamily Accelerated Processing) Program which will significantly speed up turn-around time on transactions like this one," said Holly Bray, Director of FHA Finance, who handled the Malvern Lakes deal. "HUD has made a commitment to process new construction loans in 45 days or less, so we expect to be really busy."

The complex, which will be completed in 2001, includes amenities such as a clubhouse, pool, volleyball court, tot-lot, car care center, tennis court, and a walking/jogging trail. The units include sunrooms, vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, and balconies and patios.
