MULTIFAMILY PROGRAMS
Vacancy, Manager
(410) 514-7325
Multifamily insurance programs provide longer
mortgage terms than are generally available from
other lenders; reduce monthly payments for the
tenant; and enable higher loan-to-value ratio mort-
gages for borrowers. Multifamily insurance pro-
grams include construction loans and permanent
loans.
Construction Loans insures mortgages financing
nonprofit and qualified private developers of new or
rehabilitated housing for families and individuals, the
elderly and the handicapped. (Construction loans are
insured only in combination with permanent mort-
gage financing.) The Maryland Housing Fund is the
only insurer of construction loans in the State, other
than the Federal Housing Administration.
Permanent Loans insures permanent mortgages
to nonprofit and qualified private developers of new
or rehabilitated housing. The permanent mortgage
insurance is provided for multifamily projects for
new construction and rehabilitation, projects re-
ceiving federal subsidies, and market-rate projects
financed by eligible issuers of revenue bonds.
SINGLE-FAMILY PROGRAMS

Regular Mortgage Insurance offers insurance coverage
on mortgages of up to 100 percent loan-to-value ratios
on terms provided by major financial institutions. Mort-
gage insurance premiums are comparable to those
charged by private mortgage insurers. This program is
approved by the Federal National Mortgage Association.
The Public Mortgage Single-Family Program insures
single-family mortgages financed by revenue bond-
funded direct mortgages or mortgage purchase pro-
grams of a public agency mortgagee. The insurance
is governed by the Regular Single-Family Program
regulations, with modifications. The maximum
mortgage amount is 95 percent of the total acqui-
sition cost, not to exceed the sales price.
Pool Insurance offers insurance covering up to 100
percent of the loss on mortgages where there is pri-
mary coverage. The aggregate amount payable under
this coverage is an agreed percentage (usually 5% to
10% ) of the initial principal amount of mortgages
financed through a revenue bond series. The Maryland
Housing Fund provides pool insurance for revenue
bonds issued by the Community Development Ad-
ministration and other housing agencies.
Cooperative Insurance provides coverage on
mortgages to tenant shareholders for the purchase
of dwelling units in cooperatives.
The Revitalization Program provides opportunities to
lower the risk of lending by using Maryland Housing
|
Fund insurance to stimulate the flow of private
mortgage capital into areas that have suffered from
decreasing home ownership and associated eco-
nomic and social instability In addition, the Pro-
gram makes home ownership possible for those
who do not have the resources for a down payment
and closing costs, which otherwise would be re-
quired by Maryland Housing Fund insurance. The
borrower must make a minimum cash contribution
(not less than $500) based upon levels of house-
hold income.
Home and Energy Loan Program (HELP) insurance
covers 100 percent of the loan under the Community
Development Administration's Home Improvement
and Energy Conservation Loan Program.
