Explore FHA Financing at NAHB Webinar on July 22

With more multifamily developers turning to the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) for financing options, NAHB Multifamily is sponsoring the second in a series of webinars exploring FHA programs for new construction and rehabilitation and for acquisition and financing relevant to the multifamily industry.

The webinar, “FHA — A Detailed Look at Financing in Today's Multifamily Market,” begins at 3:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, July 22. It is free to NAHB Multifamily and 50+ Housing Council members, $100 for other NAHB members and $125 for non-members.

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, Sr., of Wells Fargo Multifamily Capital. David Reznick, of the Reznick Group, P.C., will be the moderator.
