9 Eclipsing the Competition

Since our loans do not have to “fit” into a large securitized pool, the unique aspects of the transaction can be tailor-made for each MBS issuance. Presentation Title Goes Here 9

4/27/2017 Eclipsing the Competition - Continued DUS Lender Network Delivers Excellent Service Strong relationship management at origination through the life-of-the-loan Since Lender controls the loan process, the deals can close faster which translates to certainty, speed and ease of execution Lender has delegation to underwrite transactions in accordance with Fannie Mae guidelines Risk Sharing Model Aligns Interests Risk Sharing means interests are aligned and drives strong credit quality Competitive Pricing and Terms Win Business Asset quality, financial strength of the sponsor and market dynamics drive the approach Added consideration for deeper affordability, properties with 50 or less units and Green Who is the competition?

With respect to flexibility, I want to emphasize that we allow loan terms from 5-30 years. Our single asset security allows us to match specific deal terms to a specific investor rather than having to pool a bunch of like loans for securitization later.

For a larger project – there was a desire to move away from the “dual transaction structure…” Fannie Mae credit structures were examined. The M.TEB structure was selected with several modifications to previous transactions. MBS to be purchased shortly after bond closing Simple single maturity monthly pay bond structure Rate on MBS same as Bond Rate Traditional rating agency cash flows not required due to match of MBS payments to bond payments MBS payments passed through to bondholders the next business day following receipt by Trustee Disclosure benefits for bond purchasers as information on Fannie Mae MBS pool accessible on Fannie Mae website and Bloomberg Structure expected to attract “cross-over” buyers from MBS market as well as traditional tax exempt bond and CRA investors Pricing expected to more closely track spreads to 10 Year Tsy similar to conventional MBS pricing Source: RBC Capital Markets Presentation Title Goes Here

Key Benefits: One loan for construction and permanent financing During rehab, allows: occupancy minimum of 50% interest-only DSCR minimum of 1.0x (IO basis) or 0.75x amortizing Fannie Mae offers a SIFMA Floating Rate Note Product that may be applicable on certain multifamily financings. Structure would typically not be ideal for a tax credit development given the term is less than 15 years. However, the relatively low leverage of the bond issue and financial strength of the borrower provided comfort to the tax credit investor. RBC Capital Markets recently discussed a derivation of this structure for a proposed new construction development. RBC proposed the following: Fannie Mae SIFMA Floating Rate Notes with a term of 3-10 years; A bank would provide a construction loan to the borrower at closing. (A letter of credit could also be used, but Fannie Mae downgrade requirements may favor a construction loan); Fannie Mae would credit enhance the bonds from bond closing to simplify the credit analysis for investors and the bonds would qualify for a “Aaa” rating. Fannie’s credit enhancement fee would be reduced during the construction phase when the Bank’s loan proceeds will cash-collateralize Fannie Mae’s credit enhancement; The Fannie Mae Credit Enhancement will secure principal and interest on the bonds including the balloon payment. A SIFMA interest rate cap is obtained to protect against rising rates. Presentation Title Goes Here

18 Index Bonds: Pricing Considerations
Month Year Index Bonds: Pricing Considerations Pricing of Floating Rate Notes is structured as a “spread” to the SIFMA or LIBOR index Pricing spreads change over time similar to the way credit spreads change In the current environment, investors generally do not want maturities beyond seven years Current pricing is approximately SIFMA basis points in high demand states and SIFMA basis points in other states Higher Demand Tighter Spreads Large volume of high net worth investors or high income taxes = As you saw on the Marshall Field’s example, pricing for Initial Acquisition/Rehab Fannie Mae 10 year SIFMA Floating Rate Note (“FRN”) in April, 2015 was SIFMA basis points FRNs issued in states with a large volume of high net worth investors and/or income taxes will trade at tightest spreads. Tax exempt bonds issued in states with income tax are generally exempt from the tax making them more valuable. The following are examples of high demand states: High Demand States New York California Connecticut New Jersey Maryland Virginia North Carolina Georgia Presentation Title Goes Here
