FHA Mortgage Insurance
Alterations, Repairs or Improvements
Section 241
Financing for improvements or
additions to multifamily properties, nursing homes, assisted living
facilities, intermediate care facilities or group practice facilities
with existing mortgage insurance under any section of Title II of
the National Housing Act. Additional financing options include FF&E
for nursing homes, assisted living facilities and group medical
practices. Section 241 financing may also be used to fund the replacement
of obsolescent equipment or new equipment for healthcare facilities.
Features

for tax-exempt bond deals.
