Outside Investors: When & Why
• Tax Credit is a key part of adaptive reuse of historic buildings
• “Free” tax benefits in exchange for rehabilitating a building in a historically appropriate way
• Credit only worth something if you can use it (passive loss limits, AMT, NOL carry forwards)
![Page 35: Introduction to Adaptive Reuse & Historic Tax Credits Al Shehadi National Trust Community Investment Corp. February 12, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062417/55172bc9550346fe558b5ba9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Syndicating the Credit
• Syndication is a way to monetize tax credits
• Exchange of ownership & tax benefits of ownership for an equity investment
• Outside investor must enter ownership before placement in service
