A panel of experts will provide an in-depth overview of:

  • The FHA Section 221 (d)(4) program for new construction/substantial rehabilitation
  • Section 223(f) programs for acquisition and refinancing


The panel includes: Tom Booher, of PNC Multifamily Capital, and Hank Williams, of Wells Fargo Multifamily Capital. David Reznick, of the Reznick Group, P.C., will be the moderator.
