This program allows for the refinancing of properties currently insured by FHA, as well as an extension of up to 12 years beyond the original mortgage term. Magnolia Gardens Assisted Living Facility was previously refinanced in 2006 under HUD’s 232/223(f) loan program. The current refinancing, which locks in a lower interest rate for a 35-year term, will generate debt service savings.
