Formula and Matching Requirements

Value is determined by either (a) the value of the property before rehabilitation plus the cost of rehabilitation, or (b) 110 percent of the appraised value of the property after rehabilitation, whichever is less. The loan may be subordinated to an existing first mortgage, or there may be insured advances during the rehabilitation period if the loan is a first lien. The lender may charge the greater of $350 or an additional 1-1/2 percent supplemental loan origination fee for the portion of the loan which is allocated to rehabilitation when there are insured advances. Also, the lender may charge the mortgagor fees in the nature of discounts.
