What is Ownership?

Owners include: Owners (partial or full) of multifamily (defined as five or more units) rental properties, including independent living and age-restricted housing. In the case of partnerships and investment funds, the owner is the entity – typically the managing general partner – that exercises effective control over the asset.

Owners do NOT include:

Syndicators - firms that purchase tax credits in order to serve as a general partner with a minority interest
Investment fund managers that do not exercise effective control over the units
Pension fund advisors that do not exercise effective control over the units
General partners for investors who serve as limited partners
Owners of condominiums, cooperatives, hotel rooms, nursing homes, hospital rooms and mobile homes

What counts as units?

Units that are in the United States only
Unit counts, not bed counts
