Multifamily new construction and substantial rehabilitation projects are currently insured under Section 221(d)(3) and Section 221(d)(4) programs. Insured mortgages may be used to finance the construction or rehabilitation of rental detached, semidetached, row, walk-up, or elevator type structures with 5 or more units. The program has statutory per unit mortgage limits which vary according to the size of the unit, the type of structure, and the location of the project. There are also loan-to-value and debt service limitations.
