What do we got? • Value of real estate • Partnership documents, regulatory agreements, financing documents, etc
What can we do with this thing? • Operate “as is” • Convert to market or other use (pre 90 ..or QC) • Convert to affordable condominium • Déjà vu all over again (new tax credits)
Qualified Contracts… Difficult to Use • QC Formula: Outstanding debt; plus initial capital contribution; plus 4% return on capital, Less distributions • Issues: • Every state has different requirements • Burden of document compilation…15 years of Tax and Financials, loan & PA info. • Expensive Process...Consultants, Broker, Appraiser, Mkt studies, A& E, Phase 1. Title. • Did we start yet ? Start dates subjective. • QC Formula = Fuzzy Math. Critical terms not defined • Does a Qualified Contract = a Qualified Buyer ?

Operate ‘As Is” • Many affordable properties can compete with market w/o significant new capital • Pool of available tenants increases (students, etc), some restrictions may go away • Transition is seamless, no forced dislocation • May provide the highest return for $ spent • Strategy can be reversed
Convert to Market: pre 90 and Future w/QC + No development risks… permitting, approvals (NIMBY), major construction, income stream in place + 15 yrs of Operational history… leasing, rents, costs + Many financing programs still available for Multifamily, HUD insured, Fannie, Freddie - HUD permission, tenant notices, 3 yr, ROFR - Rents really higher ?, market deep enough? - Can you change market perception of the property (curb appeal, reputation)
Condo Conversion + Can be very profitable + Accomplishes goal of continued affordable housing + Local affordable home buyer programs help • 1st time HB grant up to $15,000 • Up to 98% loan from HFA w/subsidized closing costs - Difficult to judge market acceptance - Significant time consuming legal issues - Uncertainty of current market cycle adds risk
Affordable Condo Conversion PLR • Jan 07… IRS approves conversion of Ext. Use S42 • + Great strategy to implement y 13. (esp struggling prop.) • + Easy math • Condo Fee = Current Op costs, less turnover and interior costs • Condo Fee + Mortgage NTE.. max TC rents • Mortgage/constant = Price of unit (300/7.2K X12= 58,000) • Unit price = Debt/unit + rehab + soft costs+ profit… NTE Market • - Converter must hold unsold units…No eviction. • - New homeowners need training and support • Top loss guarantee may be needed for lenders • May need Tax abatements & community soft $

Resyndication Issues • Public benefit – cost of preservation vs. build new • Sentiment against extended use properties • Untangling restrictions and Rights of First Refusal • Qualified households Vs tenants in possession • Anti-churning rule (affiliated buyer) 10% rule • 10 year hold rule • Aggressive buyers vs. Preservation resources
Helpful hints for Year 15 • Start early…Strategies should be decided in year 13, prepared in Y14, executed in Y15 • Analyze all possible strategies in light of the local market and capital markets • Many new financing programs and combinations available for preservation, but take time to implement • Know your regulatory agreements, partnership and loan agreements.. and approvals needed. • Pick the right local partner to help you execute your strategy • Patience Perseverance and Prozac
