NEW LEGISLATION
Treasury’s New Tax Credit Rule Expands Affordable Housing
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
The U.S. Treasury amended a 2018 law passed by Congress that governs how many units an affordable housing property must set aside for residents earning less than the area’s median income (AMI).
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
The old rule: Under the 2018 law, a property would qualify for affordable housing tax credits if a) at least 20% of units were available to residents earning 50% of AMI, or b) at least 40% of units were available to residents earning 60% of AMI.
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
The amendment: The issue with the old rule was that anyone making 61% or more of AMI would be forced out of their unit. The Treasury’s new regulation allows for at least 40% of units to meet an average of 60% AMI, meaning tenants slightly above the 60% threshold could still qualify.
THE TAKEAWAY
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
Helping renters nationwide: The new regulation is the latest in the Treasury’s year-long push to funnel more money, including COVID-19 rescue funds, into affordable housing project loans. The Federal Finance Housing Agency will also provide an extra $6B in “forward commitment” financing to Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) annually.

CMBS WEEKLY
$781M of CMBS Loans Liquidated in Q2 (up from Q1)
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
Costar Group takes a look at the notable commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) plays that happened last week.
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
This week’s winner: Blackstone Group (BX) closed on a $750M refi for the 704K SF, 21-story Boston office tower, according to SEC filings. The Center for Life Science, which averaged 100% occupancy over the past 5 years, was financed by Morgan Stanley Bank (MS) and Citi Real Estate Funding (C).
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
Calling it quits: Despite Blackstone’s big win, overall CMBS loan losses rose in Q2 to $780.9M from 38 liquidated loans. The largest loss came from the liquidation of a $107.1M loan on One AT&T Center in St. Louis. Meanwhile, China’s Dajia Insurance Group wants to sell nearly $1B of U.S. luxury hotels that carry $390M in CMBS debts.
THE TAKEAWAY
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
Loans in trouble: In the first half of 2022, 77 CMBS loans were liquidated, adding up to $1.44B in total disposition balance. Additionally, Q2 loan losses had a weighted average loss severity of 53.5%, up from 50% in Q1. Loss severity is the amount lost on a property after a foreclosure and short sale.
