“OMHHF was great to work with considering the complexities created by three scattered site rural small Section 8 properties and now through their commitment and flexibility the Buffwood projects are positioned to be sustainable for the next 35 years.”

Post this

Decatur, GA (PRWEB) December 15, 2014 -- Known as the “Buffwood Project,” Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership (SWMHP) brought a complex financing request to Community Housing Capital (CHC), a Community Development Financial Institution in Decatur, GA. SWMHP, a nonprofit affordable housing developer and member of the NeighborWorks® network, owned three Section 8 assisted properties in rural Minnesota that were burdened by existing high-cost debt. The three multifamily properties served low-income seniors and two of the projects also served younger low-income individuals with physical disabilities. In order to preserve the 129 units of much needed affordable rental housing, SWMHP needed to refinance the projects for longer term sustainability.

CHC and Oppenheimer Multifamily Housing & Healthcare Finance, Inc. (OMHHF) had earlier formed a partnership to make the process of applying for and obtaining FHA 223(f) loans easier and more affordable for members of the NeighborWorks network. CHC provide interim loans when needed and OMHHF provided long term permanent financing and loan servicing capabilities. CHC realized that the Minnesota projects would benefit from the longer term and lower interest rates of the FHA 223(f) program and that OMHHF had the loan origination and servicing expertise to handle the complex financing structure that included HOME and Minnesota Housing Finance Agency funds.

“When potential 223(f) transactions come to OMHHF from CHC, we have a higher comfort level with the developers due to the existing relationship they have with CHC. The borrowers we have worked with so far, understood the technical challenges associated with affordable housing development, which helped us underwrite and process quality deals through HUD” said Michael Hammond, SVP of Loan Origination, Oppenheimer Multifamily Housing & Healthcare Finance, Inc.

The three FHA 223(f) loans allowed SWHMP to refinance the projects by paying off high-cost housing bonds structured with 15-20 year terms and interest rates in the 6% range, to a fully amortizing 35-year term, with a 3.85% fixed interest rate. This new, stable financing structure improved cash flows and funded repairs and upgrades to the projects but more importantly, preserved this scarce housing resource in an underserved rural area of Minnesota.

“When CHC brought us together with OMHHF, we believed they would be a good partner that could help us navigate the financing structure and policy issues that were likely to be raised during the application process with HUD,” said Rick Goodemann, Chief Executive Officer, SWMHP. “OMHHF was great to work with considering the complexities created by three scattered site rural small Section 8 properties and now through their commitment and flexibility the Buffwood projects are positioned to be sustainable for the next 35 years.”
