Affordable housing, Section 42 / Real Estate

Affordable Housing

Every business needs a solid foundation
As a developer, manager, syndicator or owner in the commercial real estate industry, you are subject to a myriad of compliance and tax regulations. Your success in real estate requires that you maximize your return on investment and stay ahead of the curves of the real estate cycle, but simultaneously find opportunities amid the red tape.

Hertzbach & Company, P.A. has more than 25 years of experience working with the special needs of owners, developers, and managers of affordable housing properties. The enactment of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 created a tremendous opportunity for companies and investors who construct or acquire and rehabilitate affordable housing. Our knowledge of Section 42/HUD/CDA/VHDA/DHCD requirements can help you save time, money, attract investors and earn the most favorable return on investment. We are prepared to assist you with all phases in the cycle of a project, including:

Development:
· Loan and LIHTC applications
