Testimonials

"CBRE Affordable Housing does a great job putting all of the pieces together for a successful closing. A major advantage is their expertise in affordable housing, which produces not only competitive terms on each deal, but also certainty of execution."

Jeff Danley, Peak Capital Investors

CBRE Affordable Housing delivered. The entire experience from start to finish was smooth and the loan terms were excellent. The team created a structure that supported cash out, enabling us to re-invest in the property – sustaining the asset value through the hold period and enabling us to pursue other opportunities. CBRE Affordable Housing’s full integration between property sales and finance enabled them to tailor the most reliable solutions and provide for an extremely smooth transaction.

Jason Post, Post Investment Group

"CBRE Affordable Housing provided the smoothest debt solutions for our substantial rehab and resyndication. CBRE’s flexible bridge financing enabled us to quickly acquire the LIHTC property. At the same time, CBRE’s Forward Rate Lock secured a low interest rate on our long-term tax-exempt debt. The entire CBRE team from acquisition to underwriting to closing had a can-do attitude and their process was seamless."
