JOIN US AS WE SEND 2015 OFF ON A HIGH NOTE BY INVITING THE INDUSTRY’S TOP
EXECUTIVES to lead a wide-ranging format of sessions, workshops and more at the
Novogradac Tax Credit Housing Finance Conference in Las Vegas, Dec. 3-4.
Stay on top in the competitive landscape of LIHTC financing by learning the best practices to
execute transactions under current pricing and terms, investor expectations, and rising interest
rates. On Thursday, attend the new “Equity Marketplace Trends to Watch for in 2016” panel
to hear about the forces driving the market, then learn common pitfalls and how to combine
financing during Friday’s “Debt Market Spotlight Panel.”
Among other conference highlights, breakouts are back. Experts will provide technical and
strategic insight into the industry’s hot-button issues, including Year 15 transitions, new funding
sources for gap loans, general partner interest valuation and compliance pitfalls. We’ll cap off the
first day with a networking reception overlooking the Las Vegas strip.
Don’t forget we’re offering two workshops Wednesday, Dec. 2: LIHTC 101: The Basics and LIHTC
301: Advanced LIHTC Financing. During LIHTC 101, experts will focus on topics newcomers
need to know to thrive, including program essentials, tax credit calculations and acq/rehab
investments. More seasoned professionals will enjoy LIHTC 301, which provides an in-depth
overview of LIHTC financing.
