Choose the right perspective
Match the person's deal type to yours, since a 9% tax credit new construction project, a 4% bond deal and a preservation rehab carry different funding sources, timelines and approvals. Ask which stage the person owned most directly, from site acquisition and closing the financing to managing construction and lease-up, and pick the one closest to your decision.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you assemble a capital stack for a tax credit project when one funding source falls through?
- 02What slows down a financing closing on an affordable housing deal, and how do you keep it on schedule?
- 03What do you watch most closely between construction completion and the project reaching stabilization?
