Real Estate Development (REDV1-CE)

<p>This course&nbsp;will explain the history, evolution, and policies of Affordable Housing. Policy is a critical component which leads to the design of programs, zoning, subsidies and governmental support of Affordable Housing.&nbsp; In this arena, it is critical to understand what has and hasn&rsquo;t worked in the past in order to learn the elements of successful programs and those which failed.</p><br><br><br><br><p>Students will gain an understanding of the various federal, state and local agencies involved;&nbsp;the programs they offer; how best to assess and access these programs. They will also learn how the funding for Affordable Housing is determined and allocated both national and locally. Federal programs once understood can be applied in every state. They are the primary force behind financing Affordable Housing throughout the country.</p><br><br><br><br><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">While local programs vary, NYC programs will be used as examples since NYC is recognized as the leader in providing innovative incentives and often copied throughout the country and abroad.</span></p>

By the end of this course, students should be able to structure an Affordable Housing transaction utilizing bonds, LIHTC, and additional subsidies. The students&nbsp;will utilize term sheets from NYC for structuring purposes. While some of the items will be unique to NYC, the knowledge of structuring a transaction can be applied in every state and locality throughout the country, as well as abroad since the overriding rules, regulations, and tools are dictated by the IRS and other governmental entities.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

If your nonresidential or mixed-use project is located in a "qualified census" tract (or meets other criteria designed to attract development to distressed areas), learn how to "sell" NMTCs from your project to tax-motivated buyers in return for "free" equity.
