If you have a HUD 232 or HUD 232/223(f) loan on a healthcare property, and you’d like some extra funds to update the facility’s fire safety equipment, a HUD 232(i) fire safety loan could be a great way to do so. HUD 232(i) loans have a minimum DSCR requirement of 1.11x, making them fairly easy to get approved for, even if your facility isn’t turning a huge profit. HUD 232(i) loans are primarily used to finance fire sprinkler systems, though other types of fire safety equipment may also be eligible for financing.
