This seminar is intended for newcomers to the field as well as those seeking an up-to-the-minute refresher course. It will present the basic rules governing the LIHTC and how the tax credit is utilized in today’s transactions; a “hands on” analysis of a financial model generated for a typical tax credit project; an overview of the legal, accounting, and business issues involved in negotiating transactions; a practical look at tax credit transactions from the lender, agency, developer, and investor perspectives; special issues that arise in deals involving non-profits; the basic rules for when tax credits are used together with tax-exempt bonds; options for tax credit properties in Year 15; how to incorporate solar energy in a tax credit property; and real world advice on the occupancy and compliance essentials that are critical to the long-term success of every project. In addition, for the first time ever, we will spend the afternoon of day two of the conference with an additional primer on the Historic Tax Credit. You can attend the entire conference or choose to attend the one and a half days of the Housing conference or just the afternoon of the Historic conference.
