Program Materials

This CLE webinar will brief financing counsel on the various financing tools, sources of money, and legal challenges for mixed-use and real estate development projects in the current economic environment. The panel will focus on construction loans, preferred equity, mezzanine loans, tax credit funds, tax increment financing and EB-5 financing.

Description

The real estate project development industry is in an upswing as this cyclical industry continues to heat up.  How can counsel pave the way for project developers to identify and negotiate financing deals?

While financing from traditional lenders is less scarce, savvy industry insiders continue to seek opportunistic sources of financing to increase their return on investment and have greater flexibility which is driving a new era of innovation in real estate finance.

Preferred equity investments, mezzanine loans, tax credit funds (NMTC, HTC, LITC), crowdfunding and EB-5 financing are becoming more common.  Tax incremental financing may be a viable source of financing for urban redevelopment projects.

Listen as our authoritative panel of real estate finance attorneys guides you through the various financing tools and sources of money available for mixed-use and economic development financing, including construction loans, preferred equity, mezzanine loans, tax credit funds, tax increment financing and EB-5 financing. The panel will also address legal issues that can present financing challenges in this post-recession environment.
