MARKET ANALYSIS SERVICES

With over 40 years of experience in the affordable housing industry, Boston Financial knows that just because you build affordable housing doesn’t mean that you will be able to rent it. Understanding qualified tenant demand, characteristics of sub-markets that can influence long-term operations, and the complexities of the Section 42 Low Income Housing Tax Credit program is critical to ensuring that the properties we invest in will be a success.

In 1990, Boston Financial recognized a lack of expertise in the market analysis of affordable housing and decided to build its own in-house real estate valuation team. Since then, Market Advantage REVAC has completed market studies in 48 of 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands for over 2,100 LIHTC properties. Our expertise and experience also includes many government subsidy programs such as Public Housing, HOPE VI, Rural Development (Section 515 and Section 538), Section 8, Section 236 and Section 202. In addition, we have access to current and historical property performance data dating back to 1986 for our entire geographically diversified portfolio, making us unique in the industry.

Market Advantage REVAC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boston Financial Investment Management, fully supports Boston Financial’s underwriting process and also provides third-party affordable housing and conventional multi-family services to State Agencies, Developers, Syndicators, Investors, and Lenders.

Third-party services include:

• Market Studies, Appraisals, and Review Services
• On-Site Training and Consulting
• Operating Expense Data Studies
• Rent Comparable Studies
