New Enhancements for Section 232: More Eligible Deals in Texas and Indiana Under the leadership of Federal Housing Commissioner Frank Cassidy, FHA’s Section 232 program recently reviewed the structure and current longevity of supplemental payment programs in Texas and Indiana. Based on this review, FHA may consider providing additional credit for these supplemental income sources in loan sizing, subject to the following parameters: -The capitalization rate applied to QIPP/IGT revenue may not be less than 25 percent. -The value derived from QIPP/IGT income may not exceed 30 percent.
