Obtaining construction lending for addition or expansion projects from HUD is rare and is difficult. In fact, in fiscal year 2013, the Department insured mortgages for only 3 projects with 398 units, totaling $16.9 million. The time it takes to go through HUD alone, because it is longer than traditional or commercial financing, steers many away from that option. Plus, the property to be expanded must already have a HUD mortgage on it, and it has to be stabilized. But, if you are willing to wait it out, it may be worth it. Governor’s Village, a 48-unit assisted living community which includes 24 units for residents in need of memory care, was built in 2001, but has been itching to expand... Read More »
