Calculating Yield Maintenance Penalties

How Bridge-to-HUD Loans Work for You
Lots of people probably know that HUD loans have some of the best financing terms on the planet for multifamily acquisitions — even if they don’t have any affordable units. And lots of people definitely know that if you put in your HUD loan application today, you probably won’t see that money come in until 2023. So, what do you do if you’re looking to close on an acquisition fast? Bridge-to-HUD loans could square that circle. Read more on the HUD Loans blog.
LEEDing the Way to Sustainable Housing
I’m already judging myself for the awful pun in the subhead there. But LEED certification is something we’ve got to talk about. The benefits of incorporating some sustainable features in your multifamily development aren’t just tied to doing something great for the planet, either. If that’s not enough motivation for you (though, shouldn’t it be?), consider this: Sustainable properties cost less to operate, command higher prices per unit, and maintain higher occupancy … with higher rents. Sound like a win-win? Read about the different types of certification on Multifamily Loans.
