What is an IRR?
An Interest Rate Reduction (IRR), also known as a Loan Modification is a HUD financing option that allows the current Lender to submit a request to HUD on behalf of a borrower to reduce their current mortgage interest rate.
Key Features
- A simple way to reduce your interest rate via a modification agreement.
- Maintain the existing maturity date.
- Nominal transaction fees.
- There are no 3rd party costs (Project Capital Needs Assessment (PCNA) will not be required if a PCNA was completed within the past 10 years).
- Any existing prepayment penalty would be included in the reduced mortgage interest rate.
- The typical processing timeline would be 30 to 45 days.
Eligible Properties
- Multifamily and Healthcare properties that currently have a HUD-insured loan being serviced by Centennial Mortgage.
- Mortgagor entity must be either a for-profit or non-profits
Please feel free to contact Terrance to discuss your IRR option and any other HUD loan programs.
