Current report
Several of California’s largest property insurance providers have recently paused or severely limited their issuance of new policies, or their renewal of existing policies, in the state, which could increase the Partnership’s risk of loss in its MRB portfolio.
Current report
Certain income may be considered UBTI for certain tax-exempt or tax-deferred owners of BUCs and Preferred Units.
Current report
Developments related to artificial intelligence could result in reputational or competitive harm, legal liability, and other adverse effects on our business.
Current report
For construction loans related to certain of our JV Equity Investments, we have entered into forward loan purchase agreements which require us to purchase the construction loan from the construction lender at maturity of the loan, which is typically five to seven years from closing, if not otherwise repaid by the borrower entity. Certain forward loan purchase agreements are only effective upon the property’s receipt of a certificate of occupancy by the borrower entity while others are effective as of the construction loan closing. We would need to purchase the construction loan with cash on hand or obtain alternative financing, which may be less than the original construction loan or at less attractive terms, and negatively impact our liquidity and results of operations. The Partnership has recourse to the managing member of the borrower entity and/or the project’s general contractor for those agreements that are effective prior to the receipt of a certificate of occupancy. If the Partnership is required to perform under a forward loan purchase agreement, then it has the right to remove the managing member of the borrower entity, take ownership of the underlying property, and either sell the property or obtain replacement financing. We may also provide limited guarantees of construction loans associated with JV Equity Investments, which would have similar risks and recourse options as those for properties with forward loan purchase commitments.
Current report
Certain of our property loan investments, such as The 50/50 and SoLa Impact Opportunity Zone Fund loans, are subordinate to other debts secured by the underlying multifamily properties associated with such investments, such that the principal and interest payments on our property loans are paid only after all debt service payments are made on senior obligations. As our property loans are subordinate, our risk of collection is more dependent on the efficient operations of such properties.
Current report
Several of California’s largest property insurance providers have recently paused or severely limited their issuance of new policies, or their renewal of existing policies, in the state, which could increase the Partnership’s risk of loss in its MRB portfolio.
Current report
At December 31, 2024, the outstanding principal of the Partnership’s MRBs, taxable MRBs, GILs and taxable GILs secured by multifamily properties located in California were $301.0 million, $18.0 million, $90.8 million, and $13.2 million, respectively. During 2024, several of California’s largest real property hazard insurance providers, including State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, USAA, Travelers, Nationwide, and Chubb, have either paused or severely limited their issuance of new policies, or their renewal of existing policies, in the state. Mounting claims from wildfire damage, the increasing cost of building and repairing residential properties, and a steep increase in reinsurance premiums, as well as state insurance regulations that make it difficult for insurers to adjust premiums in response to the evolving risk landscape, have challenged the capacity of insurance companies to sustainably and profitably offer property insurance in California. The result of these actions has been to limit the availability of property insurance in California for the owners of multifamily properties such as those securing our MRBs, as well as for the residents of those properties. Those multifamily property owners and residents who are able to obtain or renew their property insurance are experiencing or are likely to experience significant increases in premiums.
Current report
Many property owners in the State of California have been negatively impacted by the contraction of insurance options in the state and the resulting lack of access to affordable property insurance, which could adversely impact the ability of multifamily property owners to obtain insurance, and escalating premiums and limited coverage options could result in limiting coverage in the event of loss. If any loss suffered by a multifamily property owner relating to an MRB is not insured or exceeds applicable insurance limits, this could increase the risk of loss in the Partnership’s MRB portfolio, which could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current report
We may be required to post collateral with our counterparty for decreases in the fair value of our derivative instruments, to the extent such decreases are not offset by increased valuations on other positions.
Current report
If we elect to terminate our derivative instruments prior to the contractual maturity and the fair value is below zero, then we will be required to advance to our counterparty equal to the negative fair value.
Current report
On October 24, 2023, the federal banking agencies released a final rule significantly revising the framework that the agencies use to evaluate banks’ records of meeting the credit needs of their entire communities under the CRA. Under the revised framework, banks with assets of at least $2 billion are considered large banks and, accordingly, will have their retail lending, retail services and products, community development financing and community development services subject to periodic evaluation under complex, multi-part standards, and banks with assets greater than $10 billion will be subject to enhanced reporting requirements. Depending on a large bank’s geographic concentrations of lending, the evaluation of retail lending may include assessment areas in which the bank extends loans but does not operate any deposit-taking facilities, in addition to assessment areas in which the bank has deposit-taking facilities.
Current report
The final rule was to become effective April 1, 2024, and banks were to comply with most provisions beginning January 1, 2026, and with the remaining provisions on January 1, 2027. On March 29, 2024, however, the District Court for the Northern District of Texas granted a preliminary injunction that enjoined the federal banking agencies from enforcing the final rule, and this injunction remains in place.
Current report
In determining whether a particular investment is qualified, the General Partner will assess whether the investment has as its primary purpose community development. The General Partner will consider, among other factors, whether the investment: (1) benefits or serves one or more persistent poverty counties or census tracts; (2) benefits or serves one or more geographic areas with low levels of community development financing; (3) supports an MDI, WDI, LICU, or CDFI; (4) benefits or serves low-income individuals, families, or households; (5) supports small businesses or small farms with gross annual revenues of $250,000 or less; (6) directly facilitates the acquisition, construction, development, preservation, or improvement of affordable housing in High Opportunity Areas; (7) benefits or serves residents of Native Land Areas; (8) is an investment in projects financed with Low-Income Housing Tax Credits or New Market Tax Credits; or (9) is a new community development financing product or service that addresses community development needs for low- or moderate-income individuals, families, or households. The General Partner maintains documentation, readily available to a financial institution or an examiner, supporting its determination that a Partnership asset is a qualifying investment for CRA purposes.
Current report
Certain income may be considered UBTI for certain tax-exempt or tax-deferred owners of BUCs and Preferred Units.
Current report
A portion of our income allocated to the Unitholders may be UBTI and, accordingly, will be taxable to a tax-exempt Unitholder. This could include “unrelated debt finance income”, which can result in certain situations where (i) the tax-exempt Unitholder incurs indebtedness to finance its purchase of units and (ii) we borrow or incur indebtedness to finance the acquisition of certain investments.
Current report
Congress has considered a substantial number of bills that include comprehensive or incremental approaches to ending the conservatorship, winding down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or changing their purposes, businesses or operations. U.S. government departments and agencies, including the U.S Treasury and FHFA, have also published proposals which could lead to a release or exit from conservatorship. A decision by the U.S. government to eliminate or downscale Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or to reduce government support for multifamily housing more generally may adversely affect our ability to utilize TEBS or similar financing facilities, including MRB or other mortgage-backed securitization financing vehicles, which may adversely affect our future growth. It may also adversely affect underlying interest rates, capital availability, development of multifamily communities and the value of multifamily assets, which may also adversely affect our future growth.
Current report
The market value of mortgage-backed securitization vehicles guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac today are highly dependent on the continued support by the U.S. government. If such support is modified or withdrawn, if the U.S. Treasury fails to inject new capital as needed or if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are released from conservatorship, the market value of the securitizations they guaranteed could significantly decline, making it difficult for us to obtain TEBS or similar financing facilities and could force us to sell assets at substantial losses. Furthermore, any policy changes to the relationship between Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the U.S. government may create market uncertainty and have the effect of reducing the actual or perceived credit quality of the securitizations. It may also interrupt the cash flow received by investors on the underlying mortgage-related assets held.
Current report
All of the foregoing could materially adversely affect the availability, pricing, liquidity, market value and financing of our assets and materially adversely affect our business, operations, and financial condition.
Current report
Developments related to artificial intelligence could result in reputational or competitive harm, legal liability, and other adverse effects on our business.
Current report
We have not yet adopted artificial intelligence (“AI”) capabilities into our business, though we may do so in the future. Any future adoption of AI, whether successful or not, could cause us to incur substantial costs and could result in significant changes within our internal operational structure to account for our use and development of AI capabilities. Our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their operations more quickly or more successfully than we do, which could impair our ability to compete effectively.
Current report
Certain of our third-party service providers may have or could, in the future, incorporate AI capabilities into their operations and could create risks to those products and services provided to the Partnership. Other companies have experienced cybersecurity incidents that implicate confidential and proprietary company data and/or the personal data of end users of AI applications integrated into their service or product offerings or used in their operations. If we were to experience a cybersecurity incident related to the integration of AI capabilities at a service provider, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. AI also presents various emerging legal, regulatory, and ethical issues, and the general incorporation of AI at our service providers and in the general business environment could require us to expend significant resources in developing and maintaining our business activities and may cause us to experience brand, reputational, or competitive harm, or incur legal liability.

Previous report
As defined in the CRA, qualified investments are any lawful investments, deposits, membership shares, or grants that have as their primary purpose community development. The term “community development” is defined in the CRA as: (1) affordable housing (including multifamily rental housing) for low- to moderate-income individuals; (2) community services targeted to low- or moderate-income individuals; (3) activities that promote economic development by financing businesses or farms that meet the size eligibility standards of 13 C.F.R. §121.802(a)(2) and (3) or have gross annual revenues of $1 million or less; or (4) activities that revitalize or stabilize low- or moderate-income geographies, designated disaster areas, or distressed or underserved non-metropolitan middle-income geographies designated by the federal banking regulators.
Previous report
In June 2020, the OCC adopted amendments to its CRA regulations that resulted in the financial institutions for which it is the primary federal regulator (i.e., national banks and federal savings associations) to be subject to different CRA standards than those that apply to the state-chartered banks for which either the FDIC or FRB is the primary federal regulator. The OCC’s 2020 regulations, among other things, replaced the term “qualified investments” with “community development investments,” which the regulation defined to include lawful investments or legally binding commitments to invest that are reported on the Call Report, Schedule RC–L that meet the expanded community development “qualifying activities” criteria in the rule.
Previous report
Parts of this June 2020 amendment to the OCC’s CRA regulations became effective on October 1, 2020, but the more material provisions would not have taken effect until January 1, 2023 or January 1, 2024. On September 8, 2021, the OCC issued a proposal to rescind its June 2020 final rule and replace it with a rule largely based on its CRA regulations that existed prior to the adoption of its June 2020 amendments. The OCC stated in the preamble to this proposal that it intended to align its CRA rules with the FRB’s and FDIC’s CRA rules, and thereby reinstitute the regulatory uniformity for all insured depository institutions that existed prior to the OCC’s adoption of its June 2020 rule. On December 14, 2021, the OCC adopted a final rule implementing these changes to its CRA regulations, which became effective on January 1, 2022.
Previous report
In determining whether a particular investment is qualified, the General Partner will assess whether the investment has as its primary purpose community development. The General Partner will consider whether the investment: (1) provides affordable housing for low- to moderate-income individuals; (2) provides community services targeted to low- to moderate-income individuals; (3) funds activities that (a) finance businesses or farms that meet the size eligibility standards of the Small Business Administration’s Development Company or Small Business Investment Company programs or have annual revenues of $1 million or less and (b) promote economic development; or (4) funds activities that revitalize or stabilize low- to moderate-income areas. The General Partner may also consider whether an investment revitalizes or stabilizes a designated disaster area or an area designated by those agencies as a distressed or underserved non-metropolitan middle-income area.
Previous report
An activity may be deemed to promote economic development if it supports permanent job creation, retention, and/or improvement for persons who are currently low- to moderate-income, or supports permanent job creation, retention, and/or improvement in low- to moderate-income areas targeted for redevelopment by federal, state, local, or tribal governments. Activities that revitalize or stabilize a low- to moderate-income geography are activities that help attract and retain businesses and residents. The General Partner maintains documentation, readily available to a financial institution or an examiner, supporting its determination that a Partnership asset is a qualifying investment for CRA purposes.
Previous report
The problems faced by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac commencing in 2008 resulting in them being placed into federal conservatorship and receiving significant U.S. Government support have sparked serious debate among federal policy makers regarding the continued role of the U.S. Government in providing liquidity and credit enhancement for mortgage loans, including single family and multifamily mortgages. As a result, the future roles of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac may be reduced (perhaps significantly) and the nature of their guaranty obligations could be considerably limited relative to historical measurements. Alternatively, it is still possible that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could be dissolved entirely or privatized, and, as mentioned above, the U.S. Government could determine to stop providing liquidity support of any kind to the mortgage market. Any changes to the nature of the GSEs or their guaranty obligations could have broad adverse implications for the housing market and our business, operations, and financial condition. If Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac were to be eliminated, or their structures were to change radically (i.e., limitation or removal of the guaranty obligation, reduction in the size and scope of activities, etc.), our ability to utilize TEBS financings facilities would be materially and adversely impacted. In addition, if Freddie Mac is no longer willing to provide forward purchase commitments related to our future GIL investment opportunities, it may impact our ability to obtain leverage on such investment opportunities such that they may not be accretive to operating results.

The current global financial market situation, as well as various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world, including wars and other forms of conflict, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, adverse effects of climate crisis and global health epidemics, may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. In particular, current military conflicts, including comprehensive international sanctions, the impact on inflation and increased disruption to supply chains may impact our counterparties with which we do business, and specifically our financing counterparties and financial institutions from which we obtain financing for the purchase of our investments, result in an economic downturn or recession either globally or locally in the U.S. or other economies, reduce business activity, spawn additional conflicts (whether in the form of traditional military action, reignited “cold” wars or in the form of virtual warfare such as cyberattacks) with similar and perhaps wider ranging impacts and consequences and have an adverse impact on the Partnership’s returns, net income, and Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”). We have no way to predict the duration or outcome of the situation, as the conflicts and government reactions are rapidly developing and beyond our control. Prolonged unrest, military activities, or broad-based sanctions may increase our funding costs or limit our access to the capital markets.

Previous wording
In 2022 and 2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised short term interest rates by a total of 5.25% and has suggested additional interest rate increases may be possible to combat price inflation. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from our performance to the extent we are exposed to such interest rate increases and/or volatility. In periods of rising interest rates, to the extent we borrow money subject to a variable interest rate, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net income. Further, rising interest rates could also adversely affect our performance if such increases cause our borrowing costs to rise at a rate in excess of the rate that our investments yield. Further, rising interest rates could also adversely affect our performance if we hold investments with variable interest rates, subject to specified minimum interest rates (such as a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) floor, as applicable), while at the same time engaging in borrowings subject to variable interest rates not subject to such minimums. In such a scenario, rising interest rates may increase our interest expense, even though our interest income from investments is not increasing in a corresponding manner as a result of such floor rates.
Current wording
In 2022 and 2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised short term interest rates by a total of 5.25% to combat price inflation. In September through December 2024, the Federal Reserve cut short-term rates by a total of 1.0%. In addition, the Federal Reserve issued an updated “dot plot” of future short-term interest rate expectations which showed a slower pace of expected short-term interest rate cuts in 2025. Federal Reserve representatives have continued to emphasize that future short-term interest rate changes will be data-dependent with the goal of fulfilling its dual mandate of stable prices and full employment. As such, we expect market interest rates may continue to be volatile as further relevant data becomes available in the near future. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from our performance to the extent we are exposed to such interest rate movements and/or volatility. In periods of rising interest rates, to the extent we borrow money subject to a variable interest rate, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net income.

Previous wording
We finance the purchase of a significant portion of our investment assets. As a result, our net income and CAD will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the yields on our investment assets. If debt financing is unavailable at acceptable rates, we may not be able to purchase and finance additional investments at an acceptable levered return. If we have previously financed the acquisition of an investment, we may be unable to refinance such debt at maturity or may be unable to refinance at acceptable terms. If we refinance our debt at higher rates of interest, our interest expense will increase and our cash flows from operations will be reduced. We can offer no assurance that continued significant changes in market interest rates would not have a material adverse effect on our net income and CAD. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds may further increase, which could reduce our net income and CAD.

Inflation could cause increases in our general and administrative costs resulting in a decrease in our operating cash flows. Inflation may also increase the operating expenses for multifamily properties securing our investment assets. Such cost increases may result in lower debt service coverage for properties related to our investments. Such cost increases may result in less distributable operating cash from our JV Equity Investments and may also result in lower property sales prices causing a reduction in distributions upon capital events. The majority of tenant leases related to multifamily investment assets are for terms of one year or less. The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to reduce the risk to the properties of the adverse effects of inflation; however, market conditions may prevent such properties from increasing rental rates in amounts sufficient to offset higher operating costs. Rental rates for set-aside units at affordable multifamily properties are typically tied to certain percentages of the area median income. Increases in area median income are not necessarily correlated to increases in property operating costs. A significant mismatch between area median income growth and property operating cost increases could negatively impact net operating cash flows available to pay debt service.
Current wording
While consumer and producer inflation rates have moderated or declined during the second half of 2024, the aggregate effects of the elevated inflation rates experienced from 2021 to 2023, as well as the potential for a resurgence in inflation, continue to present risks to the Partnership. A resurgence in inflation could cause increases in our general and administrative costs resulting in a decrease in our operating cash flows. A resurgence in inflation may also increase the operating expenses for multifamily properties securing our investment assets. Such cost increases may result in lower debt service coverage for properties related to our investments.

Inflation may cause increases in construction costs for properties under construction that secure our investments. Our borrowers typically enter into guaranteed maximum price contracts at closing to mitigate potential increases in construction costs. However, change orders and general cost increases could be impacted by inflation and cause cost overruns that negatively impact property performance. Inflation may cause increases to variable interest rates of our GILs and certain MRBs and property loans, increasing the cost of construction. Each property has established capitalized interest reserves as part of the construction financing structure, but such reserves may be insufficient if the interest rate is significantly higher than anticipated and may cause cost overruns, which could negatively impact the borrower’s ability to make contractual debt service payments.

Inflation typically is accompanied by higher interest rates, which could adversely impact borrowers’ ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, thereby causing a decrease in our number of investment opportunities. In addition, during any periods of rising inflation, interest rates on our variable rate debt financing arrangements would likely increase, which would tend to further reduce returns to Unitholders. Higher interest rates due to inflation may also depress investment asset values due to a decrease in demand or increasing cost of operations, such that we may record charges against earnings for asset impairments that may be material.

Our investment assets are relatively illiquid that do not have active trading markets. There are no market makers, price quotations, or other indications of a developed secondary trading market for these investments. In addition, no rating has been issued on any of our investment assets. Accordingly, any buyer of these investment assets would need to perform its own due diligence prior to purchase. Our ability to sell investment assets and the price we receive upon sale, will be affected by the number of potential buyers, the number of similar securities on the market at the time, investor capitalization rates, available credit, and other market conditions. The sale of an investment could result in a loss to the Partnership.

We estimate values of our investment assets in the preparation of our financial statements. While the determination of the fair value of our investment assets generally takes into consideration data from third-party pricing services or internally developed models using commonly accepted valuation techniques, the final determination of fair values involves our judgment, and such valuations may differ from those provided by other pricing services and actual sales price for such investments. Due to the illiquid nature of our investments, valuations may be difficult to obtain, may not be reliable, or may be sensitive to assumptions used in our valuation processes. Depending on the complexity and illiquidity of an asset, valuations of the same asset can vary substantially from one market participant to another. Our results of operations, financial condition and business could be materially adversely affected if our fair value estimates are materially higher than what could actually be realized in the market.

While the determination of the fair value of our investment assets generally takes into consideration data from third-party pricing services or internally developed models using commonly accepted valuation techniques, the final determination of fair values involves our judgment, and such valuations may differ from those provided by other pricing services and actual sales price for such investments. Due to the illiquid nature of our investments, valuations may be difficult to obtain, may not be reliable, or may be sensitive to assumptions used in the valuation processes. Depending on the complexity and illiquidity of an asset, valuations of the same asset can vary substantially from one market participant to another. Our results of operations, financial condition and business could be materially adversely affected if our fair value estimates are materially higher than what could actually be realized in the market.
Previous wording
The market value of our investment assets may be adversely impacted by increasing interest rates.
Current wording
The market value of our investment assets may be adversely impacted by elevated interest rate levels.
Previous wording
In general, the valuation of our investment assets with fixed interest rates is dependent on the relation of the stated interest rate to the market interest rate for similar assets. Increasing market interest rates will generally result in declining investment asset valuations, which may decrease the amount realized on the sale of our investments or the amount of debt financing that can be obtained from lenders, each resulting in lower net returns on our investment assets.
Current wording
In general, the valuation of our investment assets with fixed interest rates is dependent on the relation of the stated interest rate to the market interest rate for similar assets. Continued elevated market interest rate levels will generally result in sustained lower investment asset valuations, and increasing interest rates will generally result in declining valuations, both of which may negatively impact the amount realized on the sale of our investments or the amount of debt financing that can be obtained from lenders, each resulting in lower net returns on our investment assets.

Our GIL investments and related property loans require regular interest payments during their contractual term. Although our GIL investments are issued by state or local governments, their agencies, and authorities, they are not general obligations of these governmental entities and are not backed by any taxing authority. Instead, each GIL is a non-recourse obligation of the owner of the secured property. In addition, certain property loans are on parity with the related GIL investments and share a first mortgage lien position on all real and personal property. Contractual interest payments during the contractual term are initially paid using capitalized interest in the property’s development budget. Once capitalized interest has been exhausted for a property, interest is payable from net operating cash flows, which is dependent to a large degree on the property’s operating results.

We acquire MRBs, GILs and property loans to finance properties in various stages of construction or renovation. As construction or renovation is completed, these properties will move into the lease-up phase. The lease-up of these properties may not be completed on schedule or at anticipated rent levels, resulting in a greater risk of default compared to investments secured by mortgages on properties that are stabilized or fully leased. Properties may not achieve expected occupancy or debt service coverage levels. While we may require owners and their affiliates to provide certain payment guaranties during the construction and lease-up phases, we may not be able to do so in all cases or such guaranties may not fully protect us in the event a property is not leased to an adequate level of rents or economic occupancy as anticipated. In addition, Freddie Mac, through a servicer, has forward committed to purchase our GIL investments at maturity at par if the property has reached stabilization and other conditions are met. If the lease-up of the related properties is either not completed on schedule or rent levels are less than anticipated, then proceeds from Freddie Mac may be less than anticipated or fail to meet the conditions for execution of the commitment which may negatively impact the redemption of our investment. In such instances, we will pursue enforcement of payment guaranties from owners and their affiliates.

Our GIL investments and related property loans require only interest payments during their contractual term, so all principal is due at the end of the contractual term. The GILs are primarily repaid through a conversion to permanent financing pursuant to a forward commitment from Freddie Mac, through a Freddie Mac-approved seller/servicer. Freddie Mac will purchase each of our GILs once certain conditions are met, at a price equal to the outstanding principal plus accrued interest and convert the GIL into a Freddie Mac Tax Exempt Loan (“TEL”) financing. The execution of Freddie Mac’s forward commitments is dependent on completion of construction and various other conditions that each property must meet. If such conditions are not met, then Freddie Mac is not required to purchase the GIL and we will pursue collection via other means. Alternatively, Freddie Mac may purchase the GIL in an amount lower than par, which would then require the borrower to use additional sources to repay the principal on our GIL investment. The property loans related to our GILs are primarily to be repaid from future equity contributions by investors and other forward financing commitments provided by various parties. If Freddie Mac is not required to purchase the GIL and payment of the property loans from available sources is not made, the GIL and property loan will default and our recourse is to foreclose on the underlying property. We will also enforce our available recourse guaranty provisions against affiliates of the borrower. If the value of the property is less than the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest on the GIL and related property loan, and we are unable to recoup any shortfall through enforcement of guaranties against affiliates of the borrower, then we will incur a loss. If there is a default, we are entitled to the borrower's original allocation of LIHTCs, which we can monetize through sales to third party investors. The value of LIHTCs is dependent on market demand and the underlying property’s ability to cover debt service during the permanent financing phase, which is uncertain.

We have acquired MRB investments and property loans secured by seniors housing and skilled nursing properties. By their nature, such properties have different operational and financial risks than traditional affordable multifamily properties that may negatively impact a property’s ability to pay contractual debt service on our MRB or property loan investment. Such differences will also impact the availability and cost of debt financing associated with such investments.

Our JV Equity Investments represent equity investments in entities created to develop, construct and operate market-rate multifamily and seniors housing rental properties. We are entitled to certain distributions under the terms of the property-specific governing documents based on the availability of cash to pay such distributions. The only sources of cash flows for such distributions are either the net cash flows from the operation of the property, the cash proceeds from a sale of the property, or proceeds from permanent financing in the form of an MRB, a commercial loan or other structures. The net cash flow from property operations for multifamily or seniors housing properties are subject to the same risks of ownership as previously discussed in this Item 1A. Sale proceeds are primarily dependent upon the value of a property to prospective buyers at the time of its sale, which may be impacted by, including but not limited to, the operating results of the property, market cap rates, local market conditions and competition, and interest rates on mortgage financing. Recent increases in market interest rates and increases in market cap rates have and may continue to put downward pressure on property sales prices. If there are no net cash flows from operations or insufficient proceeds from a sale or a refinancing event, we are unlikely to receive distributions from our investments and we may be unable to recover our investments in these entities.

The construction of the properties underlying our JV Equity Investments is dependent on obtaining construction loans from financial institutions that finance approximately 55% to 75% of the total cost of development with terms ranging from three to five years. Such construction loans typically bear interest at variable rates indexed to SOFR and are subject to interest rate risk. The development budget for each property includes a capitalized interest component, which may be insufficient if interest rates increase beyond expectations. In such instances, we may contribute additional equity to the property to cover any capitalized interest shortfalls, which may negatively impact our return on investment.

Each construction loan is subject to certain positive and negative covenants that, if not met, could result in a default on the construction loan. In the event of default, we may, either individually or collectively, contribute additional equity to cure a default on behalf of the borrower, remove the managing member, or arrange for alternative financing that may be at less economical rates. In all cases, our return on investment will likely be lower than if a default had not occurred.

Our various investments are related to new construction or acquisition/rehabilitation of affordable multifamily properties, seniors housing properties, skilled nursing facilities, and market-rate multifamily rental properties. Construction of such properties generally takes 18 to 36 months to complete. There is a risk that construction of the properties may be substantially delayed or never completed for many reasons including, but not limited to, (i) insufficient financing to complete the project due to underestimated construction costs or cost overruns; (ii) failure of contractors or subcontractors to perform under their agreements; (iii) availability of construction materials and appliances; (iv) inability to obtain governmental approvals; (v) labor disputes; and (vi) adverse weather and other unpredictable contingencies beyond the control of the developer. While we may mitigate some of these risks by obtaining construction completion guaranties from developers or other parties and/or payment and performance bonds from contractors, we may not be able to do so in all cases, or such guaranties or bonds may not fully protect us in the event a property is not completed. In other cases, we may decide to forego certain types of available security if we determine that the security is not necessary or is too expensive to obtain in relation to the risks covered.

As it relates to our JV Equity Investments, if a property is not completed or costs more to complete than anticipated, it may cause us to receive a lower distribution than expected. Furthermore, we may be prevented from receiving a return on our investments or recovering our initial investment, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
Current wording
As it relates to our JV Equity Investments, if a property is not completed or costs more to complete than anticipated, we may be required to contribute additional capital to support construction and/or operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we contributed additional equity above our original equity commitments totaling $9.0 million across five properties to cover cost overruns, higher than anticipated interest costs, and to support operations. We anticipate advancing additional equity to certain JV Equity Investments during the remainder of 2025 though the ultimate amount is uncertain. The amount of such additional funding will depend on various future developments, including, but not limited to, the pace of development, changes in interest rates, the pace of lease-up, proceeds from refinancings of the original construction debt, and overall operating results of the underlying properties. Such additional equity may result in lower returns on our investments or we may be unable to recover our initial investment upon sale, which would adversely affect our cash flow and results of operations.

Many of our debt investments are associated with syndicated partnerships formed to receive allocations of LIHTCs. Conditions in the low income housing tax credit market due to changes in the U.S. corporate tax rates have previously had, and may in the future have, an adverse impact on our cost of borrowings and may also restrict our ability to make additional investments. These conditions, as well as the cost and availability of financing has been, and may continue to be, adversely affected in all markets in which we operate. Concern about the stability of the low income housing tax credit markets has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases cease providing, funding to borrowers and our access to debt financing may be adversely affected. Changes in the U.S. tax rates, and the resulting impacts to the low income housing tax credit market, may limit our ability to replace or renew maturing debt financing on a timely basis, may impair our ability to acquire new investments and may impair our access to capital markets to meet our liquidity and growth strategies which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have committed to advance funds for various investments on a draw-down basis during construction. We may also forward commit to purchase MRBs at a future date, contingent upon stabilization of an affordable multifamily rental property. Our gross outstanding investment commitments were approximately $366.4 million as of December 31, 2023. We believe our liquidity sources and debt financing arrangements are sufficient to fund our current investment commitments over time. However, if circumstances change such that our traditional liquidity sources and debt financing arrangements are insufficient, we may need to obtain funds from other sources, including, but not limited to, alternative financing arrangements, sales of assets, or raise additional capital. This could negatively impact our results of operations through higher costs or lower investment returns. We cannot assure you that we will have access to adequate equity or debt capital on favorable terms (including, without limitation, cost, advance rates, and term) at the desired times, or at all, which may cause us to curtail our new investment activities and/or dispose of assets, which could materially adversely affect our operating cash flows and results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments(collectively with related ASUs, the “CECL Standard”) and was adopted by Partnership on January 1, 2023. The CECL standard replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We determined that our GIL investments, taxable GIL investments, property loans, receivables reported within other assets, financial guaranties, financial commitments, and interest receivable related to such assets, will be within the scope of the CECL Standard. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement takes place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and updated quarterly thereafter. This differs from the prior incurred loss impairment methodology, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Accordingly, the CECL Standard materially affects how we determine our allowance for credit losses and resulted in an increase in our allowance. Moreover, the CECL model has resulted in more volatility in the level of our allowance and provision for credit losses. If we are required to materially increase our level of allowance for credit losses, such increase may affect our results of operations, financial condition, and business. Because our methodology for determining CECL allowances may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies, our CECL allowances may not be comparable with the CECL allowances reported by other companies.
Current wording
We apply the current expected credit loss model to estimate an allowance for credit losses as required by GAAP accounting guidance. For our GIL, taxable GIL, and property loan investments and unfunded commitments, the measurement of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement takes place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and updated quarterly thereafter. The measurement of credit losses for our available-for-sale MRB and taxable MRBs investments are evaluated under a different model under the accounting guidance that focuses on declines in fair value, conditions specific to the security and related collateral, and the Partnership’s intent to hold the investments. If, based on developments and trends, we are required to materially increase our level of allowance for credit losses, such an increase may affect our results of operations, financial condition, and business. Because our methodology for determining allowances may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies, our allowance for credit losses may not be comparable with allowances reported by other companies.

Previous wording
If a property underlying an investment asset was to be damaged by a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, earthquake, major storm or wildfire, the amount of uninsured losses could be significant, and the property owner may not have the resources to fully rebuild the property. In addition, the damage to a property may result in all or a portion of the rental units not being rentable for a period of time. If a property owner does not carry rental interruption insurance, the loss of rental income would reduce the cash flow available to pay principal and interest on MRBs, GILs and property loans secured by these properties. In addition, the property owner could also lose their LIHTCs if the property was not repaired. A loss of rental income would also reduce the cash available for our JV Equity Investments to pay us distributions.

The owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous substances released on its property. Various federal, state and local laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator of real property knew of, or was responsible for, the release of such hazardous substances. We cannot assure that the properties related to our investment assets are or will not be contaminated. The costs associated with the remediation of any such contamination may be significant and may exceed the value of a property or result in the property owner defaulting on the MRB, GIL or property loan secured by the property or otherwise result in a loss of our investment in the property.

Our MRB investments may have optional call dates that can be exercised by either the borrower or the Partnership that are earlier than the contractual maturity at either par or premiums to par. In addition, our GIL investments and most property loans are prepayable at any time without penalty. Borrowers may choose to redeem our investments if prevailing market interest rates are lower than the interest rate on our investment assets or for other reasons. During periods of low prevailing interest rates, the interest rates we earn on new interest-bearing assets we acquire may be lower than the interest rates on our existing portfolio of interest-bearing assets. In order to maintain or grow our investment portfolio size and earnings, we must reinvest repayment proceeds in new investment assets. New investment opportunities may not generate the same leveraged returns as our current investment assets such that our reported operating results may decline over time. We typically source our MRB and GIL investment opportunities through our relationships with multifamily property developers. Though we have a variety of property developer relationships, we cannot assure that such developers will continue to generate additional investment opportunities or that we will be awarded future investment opportunities due to various factors, including but not limited to, investment terms offered by our competitors.

During periods of low prevailing interest rates, the interest rates we earn on new interest-bearing assets we acquire may be lower than the interest rates on our existing portfolio of interest-bearing assets. In order to maintain or grow our investment portfolio size and earnings, we must reinvest repayment proceeds in new investment assets. New investment opportunities may not generate the same leveraged returns as our current investment assets such that our reported operating results may decline over time. We typically source our MRB and GIL investment opportunities through our relationships with multifamily property developers. Though we have a variety of property developer relationships, we cannot assure that such developers will continue to generate additional investment opportunities or that we will be awarded future investment opportunities due to various factors, including but not limited to, investment terms offered by our competitors.
