HUD's Multifamily Accelerated Processing program, the standardized underwriting and closing track for FHA-insured multifamily loans through approved lenders.
The longer version
MAP delegates underwriting to approved lenders under a detailed guide, with HUD reviewing and issuing commitments. The result is long but predictable process: applications, firm commitments, and closings with prescribed exhibit lists.
MAP deals are famously document-heavy, with closing checklists that run to hundreds of items across lender, HUD counsel, and borrower teams. Process discipline is the difference between the published timeline and a blown one.
In Prodeal
HUD lenders run the prescribed exhibit lists as reusable checklist templates, so every deal starts from the program's actual requirements with owners and statuses per exhibit.
