Benefits
  • Protection from interest rate volatility by locking the interest rate and other key provisions prior to construction.
  • Single asset security allows for customized loan structures.
  • Certainty and speed of execution.
  • M.TEB execution offers reimbursement of certain Costs of Issuance.
Eligibility
  • LIHTC new construction and properties undergoing substantial rehabilitation, including preservation and rural transactions.

Good Faith Deposit 1% of the loan amount, due at issuance of the Forward Commitment, refundable upon conversion.
Forward Rate Lock 24 or 30 month commitments. One delegated six-month extension available.
Forward Standby Fee
  • 9% LIHTC: 10 bps paid upfront prior to rate lock and 5 bps for the 6 month extension.

Term Up to 30 years.
Amortization Up to 35 years.
Maximum LTV
  • 9% LIHTC: 90%
  • 4% LIHTC: 90% for deals with 90% or more affordable units. 85% for all other deals.
