1 CASE STUDIES: CURRENT MULTIFAMILY BOND STRUCTURES Dan Dill, Managing Director Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated

2 M ULTIFAMILY B OND S TRUCTURES Bond Structures available for the Acquisition or Construction of Multifamily Housing Private activity bond 4% LIHTC deals and 501(c)3 Bond deals Multiple financing structures available for each bond type The capital stack for most 4% LIHTC deals will include hard debt, equity, and soft funds – especially for new construction Historically low interest rates and historically high tax credit pricing Single property and multiple property pool structures available The history and variety of 4% Bond structures is extensive RAD deal capital stacks will be similar to the 4% deals shown

3 CASE STUDY 1: MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES Cypress Springs Apartments – 4% Tax Credits, FHA 221(d)(4) insured mortgage, multiple “soft” funds

4 N EW C ONSTRUCTION : FHA 221( D )(4) AND 4% C REDITS How do you cover shortfalls in financing Affordable Housing? Problem Given rent restrictions there is not enough cash flow to provide the amount of proceeds that can be generated in traditional debt & equity structures used in market rate developments. 9% tax credits provide the largest equity investment for low income properties, but there are a limited amount of 9% credits available. Solution 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits facilitate a financing mechanism to provide a substantial amount of the equity needed to develop affordable housing. 4% Tax Credits combined with an FHA 221(d)(4) insured mortgage loan provide most but not all of the leverage and equity necessary to develop new affordable housing. Multiple sources of “soft” money are often needed to cover the gaps.

5 N EW C ONSTRUCTION : FHA 221( D )(4) AND 4% C REDITS Achieving the Lowest Interest Rate To receive the 4% Tax Credits, at least 50% of the Aggregate Basis of a project must be financed with Tax Exempt Bonds. In today’s credit market, long term conventional FHA loans charge a lower interest rate then a Tax Exempt Bond secured by a GNMA security. The short term collateralized bonds: significantly reduce negative arbitrage achieve the lowest cost of borrowing meet the requirements to receive the 4% credits.

10 CASE STUDY 2: ACQUISITION REHAB WHPC Southern Bond Pool – 4% Tax Credits, 9 Properties, Fannie Mae Guaranteed Loan

11 A CQUISITION R EHAB : F ANNIE M AE L OAN AND 4% C REDITS How do you acquire and rehabilitate small properties? Problem Properties that have a smaller number of units or have relatively low values can be difficult to finance using 4% LIHTC and tax exempt bonds because of the high fixed costs. Tax Credit syndicators usually do not have interest unless the potential equity investment is off a sufficient size. Solution In a pooled structure legal fees and other fixed costs are typically lower than if the properties were financed individually. By creating a portfolio of smaller properties, the size of the equity investment is sufficient to attract investor interest. The loan is structured with one mortgage (as opposed to 9 separate mortgages). This structured allowed for one tax credit partnership and significantly decreased reporting requirements and costs.

Problem There is a significant shortage of affordable housing in certain fast growing markets in Texas Limited availability of 9% tax credits cannot meet the need Land purchase and construction contracts may require a quick closing Solution Work closely with local government officials to identify any concerns and find mutually agreeable solutions Use 4% tax credit financing with “soft funds” to fill the financing gaps Structure a private placement with a much shorter financing time frame than agency financing
