Editor's Notes
Do people care that developers require a high rate of return? Can you just take out “Most Expensive” for this part of the stack? Can we reflect that the loans in an NMTC deal may be lower risk because of the lower loan to value (if this is true)?
I took out “are sold” because the credits aren’t sold at the full 39%
