NATIONWIDE FHA / HUD DIRECT LENDING

A nationwide direct FHA lender for seniors housing, skilled nursing, affordable and market rate multifamily.

Blueprint originates and services the full range of FHA insured loans — multifamily and healthcare — with long term, fixed rate, fully amortizing, non-recourse capital. Where FHA is not the answer today, we arrange bridge to HUD debt and raise the capital to get there.

The most patient capital in commercial real estate.

FHA insurance lets owners and developers lock in terms conventional and agency debt cannot match. Blueprint manages a complex process so those advantages reach the closing table.

Up to 35 years on existing assets and 40 years on new construction, fully amortizing with no balloon and a rate fixed for the full term.

03

High leverage

Up to 87% for market rate and 90% for affordable and rental assistance properties.

02

Nonrecourse

No personal liability beyond standard bad act carve outs, protecting sponsor balance sheets.

04

Fully assumable

Loans transfer with the asset subject to HUD approval, adding real value at sale.

LOAN PROGRAMS

One platform, the full FHA toolkit.

Two complementary tracks — multifamily and healthcare — covering market rate and affordable housing, seniors housing, and skilled nursing. Terms are indicative; final structure follows underwriting and market conditions at rate lock.
