Zell-backed venture buys distressed Near West apartments | News | Crain's Chicago Business

A venture backed by a Zell-led investment fund paid more than $13 million for Mod, a 56-unit condominium-turned-apartment development at 1222 W. Madison St., not far from Mr. Zell's West Loop offices.

County records show the venture bought property at the end of December from MB Financial, the project's construction lender, which repossessed the building from its developer about three months earlier.

The sale resulted in a major loss for Chicago-based MB, which filed a $19-million foreclosure suit against the project about a year ago.

FHA 232 LEAN - FHA 232/223(f) rates just over 5% due to slightly higher MIP (mortgage insurance premium) Processing time still very long, equity requirement much higher than the past, New construction deals are having the most trouble getting approved.  I get calls from many principals that would love to find an alternative construction loan for very good deals.  In other words construction lenders call me.


In other news the long slow wind down or "enhanced interrogation" of FNMA and Freddie Mac was proposed by the White Papers. The private lenders ( Maybe countrywide-II) would get to run the show again. Good news for apartment owners since down payments would likely go up and prices for homes likely down.
