HUD is amending its multifamily coinsurance regulations to provide coinsuring lenders with two new options in dealing with defaulted coinsured mortgages. Specifically, this interim rule permits coinsuring lender-issuers to request that HUD endorse certain defaulted mortgages for full insurance, without a GNMA takeover of the lender- issuer's entire portfolio. Additionally, this interim rule allows coinsuring lenders to advance funds to cure mortgage delinquencies on a coinsured mortgage and to reduce principal on that mortgage to a level that restores the financial viability of the project.
