Maximum Loan
Amount
Maximum 90% of appraised value.
Debt Service
Coverage

The coverage will exclude IRP from income (and gross debt service calculations), where
applicable.

Example: a proposed new mortgage increase note has $100 debt service that will be added to
an IRP Note with $200 gross debt service comprised of $130 IRP and $70 paid by project
operating rental income. The required coverage will thus be 1.05 of $170, or $179.
