FNMA Affordable Housing Loan LIHTC Tax Credits Houston TX

We were tasked with developing a multifamily financing strategy which would provide the multifamily construction financing along with a permanent multifamily mortgage loan for the Shoreham Apartments in the Eastex/Jensen area of Houston Texas. Because the developer was building the project as a multifamily affordable housing project, it was immediately clear that a traditional, market rate apartment loan would not have sufficed. Innovation in apartment lending was required.

We developed a multifamily financing package which combined various types non-recourse apartment loans that addressed the construction financing along with the economic needs of a property that would be operated at significantly below market rents. We examined all available GSE insured apartment loans and decided to combine a Fannie Mae multifamily affordable housing loan with Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The LIHTC Program provided the developer with publicly subsidized federal tax credits which significantly reduced the developer’s cost basis in the property.

We brought Fannie Mae into the deal to provide a $3,600,000 low-interest, 30 year, non-recourse multifamily FNMA affordable housing loan that blended perfectly with the Low Income Housing Tax Credits we were able to place. We clearly identified and arranged the optimal multifamily financing structure for the Shoreham Apartments.
