Dallas Private Bond Activity Appraisals

Dallas Private bond activity appraisals are part of the due diligence to create quality affordable housing. Residents at these properties pay rent based upon their level of income. Private bond activity appraisals are prepared for apartment complexes in the Low Income Tax Housing Tax Credit program which are obtaining private bond financing. The owners of these apartment projects receive a lower level of tax credits (versus traditional Low Income Housing Tax Credit apartment complexes). However, they receive lower cost financing (since the bonds are not subject to federal income tax).

Dallas private bond activity apartment complexes are approved subject to complying with a series of inflexible rules and are contingent on tax credits being available. Identifying sites for which private bond activity apartment complexes are financially feasible is difficult.

Private bond activity complexes are subject to approval by both the state housing agency and bond issuer.

Appraisals for private bond activity apartment complexes vary in several regards from appraisal for conventional apartments. The value is subject to a land use restriction agreement (LURA). Further, there are typically several definitions of market value (as completed, as stabilized and as though LURA does not apply).
