Tax Credits & Tax Exempt Bonds:
   State-by-State Preview

This special state-by-state guide offers an exclusive compilation of changes in low-income housing tax credit and tax-exempt bond programs for 2009. The information is presented by state alphabetically, starting with tax credit information, then private-activity tax-exempt bond information. States were asked to provide details about their 2009 plans and 2008 activity. Not all states had their 2009 plans finalized as of press time.

-STATE-BY-STATE GUIDE

   Capital Markets Outlook 2009

If 2007 was the end of the party, 2009 will be the worst part of the hangover. The subprime mortgage meltdown has spread like wildfire, incinerating the government-sponsored enterprises and leveling century-old financial institutions that weathered the Great Depression but could not survive 2008. In short, this will be a tough year for the multifamily industry. Lenders are expected to lend less and at more conservative terms, equity will be prohibitively costly, and construction financing will be scarce. But how bad will 2009 be, and how will it affect your business?
