for mortgage insurance prior to the beginning of
construction or rehabilitation and is designed
for use as a group practice facility or medical
practice facility which the Secretary finds will
be constructed in an economical manner, will
not be of elaborate or extravagant design or ma-
terials, and will be adequate and suitable for
carrying out the purposes of this subchapter. No
