Our History
NW professionals have experience preparing applications, assessing properties, reviewing all necessary documentation, including the reconciliation of CNA reports ensuring funding is available throughout the term of the financing to safeguard the integrity of the property. Our due diligence experience also includes meeting with stakeholders such as the tenants, tenant organizations, and in some cases the surrounding community to ensure that the residents of the property are aware of what is going on with their homes and getting input to assist in the final underwriting when appropriate.
NW Financial has closed numerous RAD transactions for Public Housing Authorities (“PHA”) across the Country, including the first-ever RAD project completed in the State of New Jersey. These RAD projects included financings through the New Jersey Housing Mortgage Finance Agency utilizing 4% LIHTCs, issuance of tax-exempt bonds by the PHAs, and variable and fixed loans provided by various private banking lenders. In addition to the RAD program, NW provides ongoing consulting services to several PHAs throughout the Country.
