Innovative Capital Sources Aim to Disrupt Traditional Lending
The multifamily market’s strong fundamentals continue to
attract capital from a variety of sources. Banks and life companies are active,
the commercial mortgage-backed securities market is rallying and the government-sponsored
enterprises (GSE) remain a competitive source of capital for apartment
financing.
However, with the GSE rapidly closing in on their caps for
the year and interest rates set to rise, apartment executives are keeping a
close watch on alternative capital sources. A special s
EB 5 Extension Strategically Tied to Government Funding
The Senate included a provision to extend the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program in its recently released Continuing Resolution government funding measure. Many see this as the culmination of more than a year of advocacy work. The EB-5 “Jobs for U.S. Visa” program is an important source of investment in commercial real estate projects including multifamily. The program allows a foreign investor, and his or her family, to obtain a U.S. green card by making an investment in a capital project that res
Hill Interest in the EB-5 Program Ramps Up
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program remains a topic of debate in both the House and Senate. That’s because the program will require congressional action to reauthorize it before September 30 in order to avoid a program shutdown. The EB-5 program allows a foreign investor and his or her family to obtain a U.S. green card by making an investment in a capital project that results in the creation of jobs.

House Bill Raises Concerns about Future of EB 5 Program
Representatives Robert Goodlatte (R-VA) and John Conyers (D-MI) introduced EB-5 legislation on September 12 that focuses on EB-5 Investor Visa Program reforms, including measures that would raise investment minimums, help prevent fraud and extend the program another five years. Importantly, the program is set to expire on September 30 if Congress cannot agree on reforms. The EB-5 program allows a foreign investor and his or her family to obtain a U.S. green card by making an investment in a capi
Congress Inches Closer to a Federal Government Funding Agreement
With funding for federal operations set to expire on September 30, leaders in the House and Senate are scrambling to reach an agreement to prevent yet another government shutdown. Both parties are wary of being blamed for a shutdown so close to Election Day, making an agreement likely in the next week. Politics continues to cloud debates, however, with outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and others pressing to keep lawmakers in contested races in Washington and away from their constituen
EB 5 Extension Included in Short Term Federal Spending Bill
Before heading out for a six-week break, the House and Senate approved, and President Obama quickly signed, a short-term Federal Government funding bill on September 29 that contains an extension for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program. The measure will continue FY 2016 levels through December 9. After the elections, Congress will return to Capitol Hill for a “lame duck” session when they are expected to pass a FY 2017 funding bill that is likely to include key reforms to the EB-5 program.
EB5 Program Updates Proposed Congress Signals Support
A federal agency released a proposed rule on January 13, 2017, to change EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program regulations to reflect statutory updates, codify existing policies and alter certain aspects of the EB-5 program in need of reform.
The EB-5 Program allows foreign individuals to make an investment in an American commercial enterprise in exchange for lawful permanent residence and has been the focus of significant scrutiny from Congress in recent years. The proposed rule would increase the m
Congress Averts Shutdown President Signs CR Through September
President
Trump signed a Continuing Resolution (CR) on May 5th, funding the government
through the end of September, 2017. The CR was negotiated over a period of
months, going back to the short-term extension agreed to in December, 2016. The
bill is a significant departure from the “skinny budget” released by the President
earlier in the year, which proposed massive cuts to a number of federal
agencies and the outright elimination of certain programs. Instead, the CR
substantially funds governme
