How 221(d)(4) fits a bridge-to-HUD plan in Maryland

221(d)(4) finances new construction or substantial rehabilitation and converts to a permanent loan after completion. Interim capital in a 221(d)(4) plan is usually predevelopment or land financing ahead of the insured construction closing; work started too early can create environmental or program issues. In Maryland, 20 active 221(d)(4) loans were endorsed in 2023 or later. Bravo’s HUD 221(d)(4) loan guide covers terms. Related: predevelopment bridge to 221(d)(4), Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, Section 221(d)(4) explained.

Data source and method

Data source: HUD Insured Multifamily Mortgages (active), file FHA-BF90-RM-A, as of the October 2026 release (loans endorsed through September 29, 2026); HUD FHA Multifamily Firm Commitments and Endorsements Database (FY2001 to Q4 FY2026, data run October 8, 2026); HUD Insured Multifamily Properties, HUD Open Data (updated October 6, 2026) for metro area and Section 8 flags. Aggregates computed by Bravo Capital; no owner or contact information is used.

Balances are HUD’s reported amortized principal balance. Interest rates are note rates as reported by HUD (mortgage insurance premium not included), and the average shown is weighted by balance. Metro areas use HUD’s Core Based Statistical Area assignment for each property. “Holder” is the holder of record in HUD’s file, which is often the servicer or Ginnie Mae issuer rather than the original lender. Initial endorsement counts come from HUD’s multifamily production database, which covers apartment programs and does not include Section 232 healthcare loans.
