Elderly developments, also known as independent living facilities, are properties designed for the elderly that may not contain services associated with retirement centers such as central kitchens and dining areas, and other non-shelter spaces. With HUD 221(d)(4) financed projects, no non-shelter services is a mandatory condition for occupancy. Common use areas in non-shelter spaces (such as a clubhouse) are allowed to have modest equipment in a common use kitchen. In general, this means that HUD 221(d)(4) properties cannot finance assisted living facilities or skilled nursing homes. Instead, they can only finance independent living facilities.

Elderly developments, also known as independent living facilities, are properties designed for the elderly that may not contain services associated with retirement centers such as central kitchens and dining areas. To be eligible to reside in HUD/FHA 221(d)(4) properties, the tenant must meet the requirements of the HUD/FHA Section 231 loan program. This includes meeting the requirements of the HUD/FHA Section 231 loan program and the FHA 221(d)(4) loan program.

For Elderly Developments, there are several financing options available. These include government-backed loan programs, conventional loans from banks, credit unions, and other private lenders, and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.

Government-backed loan programs offer some of the best terms available, such as low interest rates and long amortization periods. Examples of government-backed loan programs include FHA 221(d)(4) loans, HUD 232 loans, and HUD 232/223(f) loans.

Conventional loans from banks, credit unions, and other private lenders are another loan option to consider when financing senior housing properties. However, it is important to keep in mind that because they are not insured by government-backed entities, conventional loans generally have higher interest rates, shorter amortization periods, and more rigid credit score requirements. Nonetheless, conventional loans can close faster, and can offer more flexible loan terms.

The SBA 504 program is an affordable financing vehicle for those who want to improve, build, or acquire an assisted living facility. The SBA 504 program provides long-term, fixed-rate loans, and requires only a 10% down payment. The SBA also offers additional funding for those who wish to become more environmentally friendly through the SBA 504 Green Program. To become eligible, borrowers must cut their facility’s energy use by 10% by implementing green options such as wind, solar or geothermal power, or invest in a new property that uses 10% less energy.

The wages you pay employees and independent contractors, as well as any professional fees, are tax deductible on Schedule E of the tax return. If you work with independent contractors and you pay them more than $600 in a single calendar year, you will have to send and file 1099s for them, since you qualify as a professional commercial real estate investor. This would include things like legal fees, property management fees, and accounting fees.
