10
HUD HQ’s Portfolio Reviews Currently Mark Williams is performing this review Required on large and mid-size portfolios Details in Notices 01-03 and 04-15 General rule: if > 10 projects, required. There are also aggregate mortgage amount limits.
11
OIHCF Appraiser 232/223(f): HUD’s Risk Assessment determines whether review required. NC/241a/SR: All appraisals/market studies will be reviewed Some environmental reviews Currently 6 on staff Main contact: Wayne.Harris@hud.gov
12
Environmental Reviewer Prepares 4128 (Environmental) Local Multifamily staff Workload Manager arranges
13
HUD FHEO Staff Reviews Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan on projects with new units HUD Underwriter coordinates review
14
HUD Labor Relations Staff Reviews Davis Bacon compliance
15
HUD Closing Attorney Assigned by Regional Office of General Counsel Workload Manager coordinates assignment May be local (to project)
16
HUD Inspector Attends Pre-Construction Conference May be OIHCF staff or contract staff
17
FHA Approved Lender Must be a MAP approved lender. The existing MAP lender and underwriter approval process will continue to be followed: LQMD: 202-708-2866
18
Lender Underwriter Must be a MAP approved 232 Underwriter, and Must have attended a LEAN training session or must have underwritten at least two LEAN projects under a LEAN approved underwriter
19
Example – Initial Contact to Closing – 223(f) Lender contacts Amee Welch Requests FHA # Amee enters project into SharePoint and DAP Lender assembles and underwrites the Firm Application If questions/concerns: leanthinking@hud.gov
20
Example, continued Firm Application complete - lender sends Amee Welch electronic version (CD or thumb drive) Amee uploads data to SharePoint and project enters queue APPS/2530’s processed – newly implemented
21
Example, continued New Procedure on projects in Queue: (Robert Wolfrey) Assignment of environmental reviewer. Email requesting Env. docs sent directly to Env. reviewer Assignment of OGC closing attorney: Email requesting OGC docs be sent to OGC As underwriter capacity becomes available, Workload Manager (WLM) assigns OIHCF underwriter (UW)
22
Example, continued UW emails lender – 1 hard copy (plus second copy of 3 rd party reports and narrative) to UW – Select documents to OGC Closing Attorney – if not previously requested when in Queue UW begins Underwriter Punchlist for Firm OGC Closing Attorney - Legal Punchlist
23
Example, continued UW completes Risk Assessment Worksheet Appraiser review needed - refer to OIHCF Appraiser Coordinated by UW: OGC Review OIHCF Appraiser Review Environmental Review
24
Example, continued UW completes punchlist UW documents uploaded to SharePoint Loan committee Results sent to lender – if Firm, with Closing Checklist Uploaded to SharePoint
25
Example, If Reject…… Potential debriefing with lender 25
26
Example, If Firm Commitment Issued…… OIHCF Closer identified Draft closing documents OIHCF Closer OGC Closing Attorney OIHCF Closer – Closing Punchlist Amendment processing Cost Certification Clearing programmatic conditions
27
Example, If Firm Commitment Issued…… OGC Closing Attorney OGC Closing Punchlist OIHCF Closer, OGC Closing Attorney and lender agree on closing date. Closing occurs 27

58
Loan Sizing – Continued Not-for-Profit Owners and Operators: To achieve the more liberal LTV benchmark, must demonstrate: A successful operating track record Significant project operating and management experience A solid financial track record If exceeding LTV’s on previous slide, need significant justification/mitigation. 58
59
Underwriting – Items to Consider Avoid Aggressive Valuation Historical vs. Estimated Revenue Expenses Occupancy Appropriate Cap Rates (2/6/09 Blast)
60
Underwriting – Items to Consider Debt Coverage Ratio Adequacy of Initial Operating Deficit Replacement facility = less risk of rent up Strength of market Trends in NOI, Occupancy, Payor Mix
61
Underwriting – Items to Consider Marketability of project Strength/Experience of Principals Equity investment State/Fed Rental Assistance Subsidies
62
Existing Project w/ NC Units NC = where adding units outside existing building foundation 12/2008 Lean Training Process as 223f or SR November 20, 2009 Email Blast Must be done as a ‘straight 232’.
63
Existing Project w/ NC Units Davis Bacon: Applies to both NC and Existing Work We’re working on new guidance Continue using MAP Guide 8.8B and refer to 11/20 Email Blast Use Substantial Rehabilitation Checklist posted to HUD.GOV – modify as needed Projects in Queue: we’ll work with you to meet the changed guidance
64
Blending LTVs Example: 77 existing & 39 new construction beds 77 multiplied by.8 (80% applicable to existing) = 61.6 39 multiplied by.75 (75% applicable to NC) = 29.25 Total = 90.85 90.85 divided by 116 (total beds) = Blended LTV of 78.3% 64
65
Eligible Debt If project debt is over 2 years old, no further investigation required, provided: No IOI btwn Mortgagor and Lender/Bridge Lender If IOI, must season for 5 years. 65
66
Eligible Debt Debt less than 24 months old will require investigation and must meet “Eligible Debt” definition in 4/10/09 Email Blast Construction or Capital Improvements with no cash out to Mortgagor or Principals If above was through IOI or partner buy- out, then must be “seasoned” 66
67
Eligible Debt >2yrs, continued Recorded liens not a result of personal obligation of Mortgagor Unrecorded debt directly connected to project, and supported (e.g. operating deficit advances or improvements) 67
68
Eligible Debt >2yrs, continued Other: Reasonable delinquent & accrued interest Reasonable prepayment penalties Recording, release & re-conveyance fees Documentation or processing fees 68
69
Non-eligible Repair Items Ineligible items are being included in the mortgage, such as: Computers Bed Spreads Expensive artwork Other “minor” movables 69
70
Medicare and Private Pay % Limits - Existing No change to previous rule No limits set on existing projects payee mix Based on last 3 years of financials or on what the market will support 70
71
Medicare and Private Pay % Limits - New or Rehab Facilities February 6, 2009 Email Blast For NC (or SR that will change from the original payee mix): The combined percentage of Medicare and Private Pay beds (of the total SNF beds in the project) underwritten must not exceed 30% Waiver guidance is in the Blast 71
72
Insurance Amounts on 223(f)s Professional Liability Property (NC = cost; 223f = value) Fidelity Bond/Employee Dishonesty Flood
73
Filling out the 92264 & 92264A November 20, 2009 Email Blast Not an Appraisal Summary anymore Should summarize the Narrative Reflect Lender’s conclusions (not appraiser) Signed by Lender (not appraiser) 73
74
Filling out the 92264 & 92264A Section D ‘Expenses’ not required Section H ‘Replacement Cost’ not required if appraiser didn’t utilize cost approach 74
75
Third Party Reports Review details Ensure repairs are clearly specified Survey deficiencies must be addressed, particularly repetitive findings Remaining Economic Life 75
76
Application Packages Include completed Firm Checklist Tab according to HUD checklist Don’t bind too many docs together Include any prior OIHCF staff guidance If clean submission (Title, License, PLI, A/R) then quicker/easier to close 76
77
Other General Issues Proofread! Math (Is it right? Is it consistent?) Charts (do they contradict each other?) Complete the Business Partner Registration System (for paper 2530s) 77
78
Other General Issues Ensure Narrative matches other docs in the submission and vice versa Submit all required docs the first time Include all docs that you reference in Narrative Complete all sections 78
79
Reasons for Rejections by HUD Loan Committee
80
Physical Obsolescence Extremely aged, without updates Large wards Communal bathrooms Short Ceilings Institutional Feel 80
81
Independent Living Units Section 232 Statute: Serves Frail Elderly – those in need of assistance with 3 or more ADL’s Maximum of 25% ILU’s in 232 New Units – market study must demonstrate need for frail elderly proposed Size of Units 81
82
Independent Living Units Must offer same services to all residents Not required to license ILUs, but other units must be licensed If combining SNF/IC/B&C units with ILU’s, 12 month debt service reserve is required (doesn’t apply to ALFs with ILUs) Consider option of 231/221D4 and 232 as separate mortgages
83
Using Hypothetical Estimates HUD Loan Committee views hypothetical estimates of future occupancy or operations as very risky in this tough economy Appraisal Standard Work has been updated 83
84
If you fail parts of Section A of Punchlist… 4128 Environmental Field Review Appraisal Review Waivers that cannot be approved 2530 Previous Participation Credit Risks that can’t be mitigated 84
85
If you fail parts of Section A of Punchlist… Facility License Experience (Mortgagor, Operator, Management Agent) Commercial Space Zoning PLI Claims History 85
86
Deficiency and Rejection reasons for New Construction Independent Living Unit issues Market studies not reflecting current conditions (See 12/11/09 Email Blast) Need for stronger Initial Operating Deficit Strong Justification/Mitigation for risks noted in Narrative 86
87
Deficiency and Rejection reasons for New Construction NOI too optimistic, from: Income estimate not reflecting market comparables’ payor mix or rent levels Expense estimate not reflecting the true (demonstrated) costs of operating the project 87

New Construction Updates
91
NO FURTHER PRE-APPLICATION SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. For New Construction projects, applications may still be submitted direct to firm. We are working on a process whereby we can provide more timely and higher quality feedback for new construction projects.
92
Current Pre-App Process not Working Difficult to give positive response with only a market study in today’s economic conditions. Most new construction projects to move forward will need to be: Conservatively underwritten Conservative assumptions in Initial Operating Deficit Strong experienced developer with large equity in the deal
93
Plan to handle 54 Pre-App in Queue Separate team created to process the in order of submission in the queue. Mike Glasgow is the underwriter. Sue Barton and Al Mackinder are the market study reviewers. Team will e-mail the lender when their project is ready to be reviewed.
94
In Lieu of Pre-Apps Option 1: Full Option 2: Staged Full Firm Application (unchanged from current option) Initial Submission Final Submission
95
Staged Application Basics Initial FHA Application Fee Market Study / Appraisal / Environmental Qualify Mortgagor, Operator, Management Limited Plans Final Architectural / Cost Reviews Qualify Contractor / Architect(s) Final Plans / Specs Final Construction Costs
96
Initial Submission FHA Application Fee – 0.3% of mortgage If HUD elects NOT to continue with the loan, ½ of the application fee can be refunded. If HUD issues a commitment, the Lender has 10 business days to decline the commitment and request a refund of ½ of the application fee. Market Study / Appraisal / Environmental Complete review and approval of Market and Value Environmental review starts immediately Same expiration time frames
97
Initial Submission Mortgage Sized on Fair Market Value and Debt Service Qualify Mortgagor / Operator / Management Agent Full submission of exhibits (just like direct to firm) Full HUD review Final Submission permits for modifications Limited Plans Minimum submission similar to MAP Pre-App Changes to plans after initial submission that affect value will require an appraisal update at Final Submission
98
Initial Submission Other Submission Exhibits Site Control Certificate of Need (if applicable) Title Search & Pro Forma Land Title Survey Budgets Stabilized Operations Initial Lease-Up Development Costs Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan Additional Facility Information Early Commencement of Construction Exhibits (if applicable)
99

Questions & Answers
106
Portfolio Transactions A New and Rapidly Expanding Business for FHA
107
What is a Portfolio? Notice H 03-01 and LEAN Processing Define Small, Medium & Large Portfolios. Small--Up to ten projects within any 18 month period and Combined estimated mortgage amounts up to $75,000,000. Medium --Eleven To Forty-nine Projects within any 18 Month Period and Combined Estimated Mortgage Amounts Equal to or in Excess of $75,000,100 up to $250,000,000. Large--Fifty or More Projects within any 18 Month Period; or Combined Estimated Mortgage Amounts in Excess of $250,000,000.
108
Current Portfolio Policy Medium and Large Portfolios Require Rating Agency Reviews. OIHCF is Permitting CPA Reviews if the Rating Agency is Unable to Provide a Product Rating Agencies are Currently in Turmoil OIHCF Needs Consolidated Financial Information to Understand the Condition of the Principals with the Greatest Risk to the Transaction Some Portfolios are Requiring FHA to Look at Individual Project Valuations
109
Portfolio Notice Will be Revised Portfolios are Complex and Varied REITs are Large Portfolios Consisting of Small and Medium Portfolios Portfolio Policy Must Deal with Many Complexities Lenders Need to Understand our Limitations and Exercise Patience Lenders Also Need to Have Reasonable Expectations Over Promising Clients can Cause Negotiations to be Problematic
110
Portfolio Demand Is Overwhelming HUGE demand for processing Currently 700 Projects Either Approved or in HHQ Processing Totaling over $4.0 B Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (“CMBS”) Refinancing is One Driver from Large Portfolios OIHCF Resources are Inadequate FHA Senior Management is Aware & Concerned about the Number of Projects & the Size of the CONCENTATION RISK
111
Portfolio Processing Issues Portfolio Refinancings are Complicated & Time consuming. OGC Legal Staff and OIHCF Staff are Overwhelmed Lender Inexperience & Improper Deal Structuring Create Unnecessary Delays & Confusion Existing Debt Instruments are a Complicating Factor Operator Leases & Corporate Debt Issues are Challenging and Sometimes Unworkable. Master Leases with FHA and Non-FHA Projects are Prohibited but Unavoidable in some Portfolios
112
OIHCF Expectations of Lenders Lenders Need Wide Ranging Corporate Finance Experience Some Lenders are Overpromising Clients How Much FHA would be Willing to Provide in New Mortgage Insurance OIHCF is Seeing Project Appraised Values that are Unrealistic, Too High and Unsupportable to Justify Mortgage Insurance Requests Lenders Need to be More Aggressive in Managing Portfolio Risk Issues! Valuing of FHA & NON FHA Projects in a Purchase Transaction is Becoming a Serious Problem!
113
Portfolio Operator Risks If the Operator is NOT on Board with FHA requirements, the Portfolio should not be submitted to HUD. Operators must meet HUD requirements for PLI, AR, DACA, etc. We Have Experience with Operators that are Restricted by Existing Bank Lending Arrangements that are in Conflict with FHA Requirements Some Operators Feel They should not Give UP Current Contractual Advantages to the Benefit of the Owner Without Compensation—This is not a FHA Issue. This issue is between the Owner and Operator.
114
Portfolio Concentration Risk Concerns Portfolios’ have Significant Concentration Risk, and Lenders need to provide offsets to that Risk by using Master Leases for both the Operating and Mortgagor Entities. If the Current Operator does not have a Master Lease arrangement, then the Capability of the Parent Mortgagor is Questionable & More Risky! FHA is Currently Reviewing the Limits of Risk for Specific Parties to a Portfolio Transaction. OIHCF Will Look into ALL Potential Risk Issues to Ascertain their Potential Impact on the Transaction both in the Short Term and the Long Term
115
Limitations on Concentration Risk Concentration Risk—Does FHA impose limits on the size of single owner and/or operator transactions? $250 MM--$500 MM--$750 MM-- $1.0 B. Should FHA have Additional Regulatory Requirements for Portfolio Projects? Additional Debt Restrictions on Owners and Operators—Higher Reporting Requirements? Should FHA Require Higher DSCR and Lower LTVs for Portfolios? Is FHA Taking on Corporate Solvency Risk?
116
FHA Senior Management Issues FHA Commissioner and Risk Manager Have Legitimate Concerns on Portfolios New Risk Management Measures will be Imposed The Commissioner & Risk Manager are Aware of the Portfolio Projects and will be Actively Involved in Reviewing Each Major Project The FHA Insurance Fund Is Weaker Due to the National Housing Crisis, and FHA Staff and the FHA Leadership is Intent on Reducing Risk and Rebuilding the FHA Insurance Fund LESS RISK IS THE NEW MANTRA
117
Portfolio Transactions (cont.) Kathleen Burtschi Senior Counsel HUD HQ-OGC Washington, DC
118
Size of Portfolio-Notice Housing 01-03 C.Small Portfolios. Up to ten projects within any 18 month period; and Combined estimated mortgage amounts up to $75,000,000.
119
Size of Portfolio-Notice H 01-03 B.Midsize Portfolios. Eleven to forty-nine projects within any 18 month period; and Combined estimated mortgage amounts equal to or in excess of $75,000,100 up to $250,000,000.
120
Size of Portfolio-Notice Housing 01-03 Portfolio must meet both tests to fall under Notice requirements. Example: 15 projects with total mortgage of $60M does not come to HQ under the Notice.
121
Special Considerations for REITs Quarterly Distribution of Surplus Cash instead of Semi-Annually Change to Mortgagor Reg. Agmt Document acquisition cost, and HUD recognizes 75% of cash payment as existing debt.
122
Portfolios – Legal Considerations During HQ review-notify issues that may need waivers AR financing restrictions Master Lease Document changes State licensing issues Ownership Structure
123
Portfolios-Working with OGC If facilities cross regions-notify HQ-OGC upfront to coordinate legal review AR review of portfolio of 32 SNFs HQ and Field OGC will work through unique issues to be applied for all closings
124
Portfolio Transactions (cont.) Jack Fenigstein Fenigstein and Kaufman
125
1. Uniformity Need uniformity among multiple field counsel on document comments and requirements.
126
2. Dealing with the unwilling Tenant 2.1: Concessions by Landlord 2.2: Flexibility with documentation to achieve ultimate desired result 2.3: Boot collateral
127
3. Streamlining the closing process. 3.1: Pre-recording 3.2: Table Closing vs. Virtual Closing 3.3: Mortgagee counsel certification as to identical documents as previously presented to field counsel 3.4: Original documents vs. copies by fax and e-mail 3.5: Post-closing obligations
128
Final Thoughts The Significant Demand of Portfolios on OIHCF has Unknown Outcomes Lenders Need to be Aware of our Problems & Lower Expectations. Queue Processing Permits Portfolio Projects to be Processed Simultaneously. This is More Efficient for ALL. Portfolio Approval does not Guarantee Approval of the Mortgage Insurance Application OIHCF will NOT permit an After the Fact Increase in the Size of an Approved Portfolio if OIHCF has Concerns About the Projects or the Size of the Current Operator
