Construction of the community will be facilitated via a 30-month taxable forward commitment Fannie Mae affordable loan structured as a 9% low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) mortgage-backed securities (MBS) exchange. The Fannie Mae loan features a low, fixed interest rate, 15-year term, and 35-year amortization. Additional funding sources include a construction loan from a national bank and equity from the syndication of low-income housing tax credits.
“The Fannie Mae forward commitment proved to be an ideal solution for the borrower in this situation, as it protects them from interest rate volatility by locking in a low interest rate and other key provisions prior to construction closing,” said Lument’s Hoppin. “The customized loan structure closed in a timely manner and allows the sponsor to proceed with the construction of this much-needed affordable housing community for seniors in the Denver area.”
