This document provides information on real estate acquisition and development/rehab financing for non-profit corporations through municipal bond financing. It explains that non-profits can obtain non-recourse debt financing through unenhanced tax-exempt municipal bonds to purchase and develop qualified projects like affordable housing, schools, and recycling plants. The financing provides a single loan for acquisition, development, and permanent financing with current market rates and 30-year terms. Projects must qualify based on providing a municipal benefit and cash flows supporting debt repayment. Redbridge Development Partners assists non-profits through this financing process.

Acquisition and Development/Rehab
Financingfor Non-Profit Corporations
 Non-profit 501(c)(3) corporations can obtain non-recourse debt financing by issuing
unenhanced and non-rated tax-exempt municipal bonds (no LOC or balance sheet pledge).
 Net proceeds of the financing can be used for the acquisition and development of qualified
projects for new construction – or the acquisition and redevelopment of existing projects.
 One loan instrument for acquisition, development, and permanent financing (no separate
take out is necessary)
necessary).
 Current market rate pricing, fully amortized over 30 years, with level debt service payments.
 These bonds are automatically allocated at the state level due to issuance via a government
entity or approved issuer on behalf of a non-profit corporation. No volume cap allocation.
 Typical projects that qualify for municipal bond financing include (but are not limited to):
multi-family housing (affordable, workforce, professional moderate, and low-income);
senior housing (nursing homes, assisted living facilities, CCRC’s); charter schools,
CCRC s);
student housing and dormitories; qualified recycling plants, etc.

3. How does it work?
 Non-profit corporations seeking to develop certain qualified projects
can use municipal bond financing instead of conventional financing.
 The projects must qualify as providing a “municipal benefit” such as housing (affordable,
moderate, workforce, senior, retirement, and l
d t kf i ti t d low i
income multi-family h
lti f il housing), charter
i ) h t
schools, student housing and dormitories, health care, small manufacturing facilities, etc.
 The non-profit must be organized and approved to develop and operate these
types of properties
properties.
 The project must qualify for financing by utilizing the “cash flow from operations”
to service the debt (much like an apartment complex or office building).
 Standard debt underwriting is utilized including the requirement of appraisals
(“as-is” and “future stabilized” values) and a feasibility study / demand analysis.
 Non-recourse debt financing, based upon the project “standing alone” to service the debt.

4. Example
 A non-profit corporation owns or is purchasing a particular property (i.e., land, office building,
school f
facility, multi-family apartments), which
f )
has a lower cost basis for the owner than the current appraisal.
 The municipality has a favorable opinion towards the project, and the project is allowed
to move forward.
 The non-profit corporation would then seek to obtain municipal bond “project” financing and
would complete all third party reports and agreements (feasibility, demand analysis,/market
study, MAI appraisal, GMAX contract with GC, etc.) to support the financing and the project.
 As an equity contribution, the current property owner may agree to carry a portion of the
appraised value as “subordinate debt”, and may also receive cash for a portion of the value.
 This financing would not be an obligation of the municipality, and the debt would be
repaid solely from project revenues.
 30-year fixed, fully amortized with level debt service. 5 year stepped pre-pay.
 Ownership of the project would be retained by the non-profit corporation.
 Can be used for qualified, long term, ground leased properties.
