Back when the world was young and construction financing was still flowing like a fast-moving river from lenders to developers, few would ever have chosen to take an FHA construction loan. You need to apply for them correctly, they take a long time to close, you are essentially forced to utilize union labor, there is a lot of red tape and construction oversight, etc. However these days, with construction financing as rare as hen’s teeth, a lot of people are re-thinking FHA financing, and it’s starting to look like the prettiest girl in the room. As we approach 2010, for new construction of an apartment project with the right characteristics, these programs can be a godsend, and in many cases, the only practical way to get a new project built.

Navigating the rules and customs in this often arcane and byzantine precinct of the construction world can be daunting, and having the right advisor (jungle guide) with the requisite savvy and experience to help you navigate this complicated world is nothing less than essential.

The following piece is by my colleague Henry Berliss, who has been handling these transactions for many years and knows the ropes. So if you are looking for a construction loan to construct a new apartment building read the article below and then contact Henry (henry@winter1.com (212) 532-1122 x117) to see whether your project can qualify under this relatively high-leverage (and did I mention non-recourse?) program.
