Acquisition and Refinance of Healthcare Properties

Our HUD FHA SECTION 232/223(F) platform offers 35-year, non-recourse loans that are designed to allow for lower equity requirements and a flexible lending program. 

Section 232 insures mortgage loans to facilitate the construction and substantial rehabilitation of nursing homes, intermediate care facilities, board and care homes, and assisted-living facilities. Section 232/223(f) allows for the purchase or refinancing with or without repairs of existing projects not requiring substantial rehabilitation.

The program allows for long-term, fixed rate financing (up to 40 years) for new and rehabilitated properties and (up to 35 years) for existing properties without rehabilitation.

With loan terms up to 35 years, INSIGNIA offers an attractive permanent solution for your refinancing and acquisition needs on a nationwide basis. A fixed rate means you can take advantage of today’s historically low rates for years to come. Non-recourse means no personal guarantees*.

Lower Equity Requirements
Equity requirements for purchases typically start at 20% for market-rate properties and decrease to 15% for non-profits.

Assumable Loan
This is a fully assumable loan, subject to approval from HUD. Future buyers will benefit from your foresight for taking advantage of today’s interest rates.

For nursing homes only, applicants may be public agencies that are licensed or regulated by a State to care for convalescents and people who need nursing or intermediate care. A potential applicant must submit a Certificate of Need from the State agency designated by the Public Health Service Act. (If no State agency exists, an alternative study is required.)
