FHA (Federal Housing Authority) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) refer to government loan programs that provide insurance for multifamily mortgages. FHA / HUD loan programs can be used for existing properties, new construction, or rehabilitation. HUD approved lenders can offer long term loans (up to 35 years) with the best rates in the market because the lenders are insured by the FHA against loss on mortgage defaults.
The HUD lending program applicable for more than just Section 8 and affordable housing. Class A, market-rate multifamily properties across the country can qualify for a FHA loan. HUD non-recourse loans can also be combined with local tax credits or municipal grants to create a compelling investment scenario.
