The program has the following additional parameters:
The FHA Section 232 mortgage insurance program is one of the most attractive credit enhancement programs available for taxable and tax-exempt financing of new construction and rehabilitation of nursing homes, intermediate care facilities, assisted living facilities, and board and care (personal care) facilities. Under the FHA Section 232 program, FHA insures each construction loan disbursement as an advance is made and, upon “Final Endorsement,” it insures the permanent mortgage. The mortgagor may also choose insurance upon completion of construction.
FHA is the only 40 year, fixed rate, level amortization, non-recourse health care facility finance program in existence.

In its pre-qualifying review, American Trust Corporation will estimate both the loan amount and the fees and costs associated with the transaction. Actual loan amounts and actual fees and expenses may vary from the pre-qualifying estimates. A pre-qualifying estimate is not a commitment to make a loan.

Application Fee:
$2,500 non-refundable inspection/loan processing fee payable to American Trust Corporation with the loan application, will be credited to origination fee at closing

Origination Fee:
1%
