From Multifamily Financing Options England Have Never Been Better to America T By Paul Winterowd, Bonneville Multifamily Capital

Peter Harradine installed as 2016 Board chair

he Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) recently reported $195 billion worth or multifamily mortgages were closed in 2014. This record level of volume has continued to increase in 2015. This is good news for multifamily borrowers because there is clearly a lot of capital in the marketplace. Many multifamily investors without large scale operations are unaware of the many options available outside the traditional banking system. Again citing the MBA survey, the bulk of multifamily loans were funded by Banks and GSE’s (Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac). The next most common was Life Insurance Companies, then FHA and finally Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS).

Banks and credit unions are commonplace and virtually everyone is aware they are a source of capital. However it doesn’t mean they are the only options when it comes to financing multifamily projects.

Government Sponsored Entities (GSE’s) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are two separate sources of capital. Their continued on page 6

How I Can Help Better the UAA Cheri Goss, Board Chair, Utah Apartment Association

• This year was the first year that every board member had an area of responsibility or a specific assignment. This helped engage the board in levels never seen before.

A

s I look back over 80 years of board chairs who have served the UAA, I know a single board chair has only a brief time to influence the organization. Therefore, I set goals of my own of how I could help better the Utah Apartment Association in the year 2015.

1 – Build a board culture of accountability, contribution and ownership by assigning areas of responsibility to every board member (33 volunteers this year) and tracking progress to empower ownership of UAA’s mission. This organization is run by the board, and I want my board members to each have ownership and an area of accountability while on the board.

data and resources offered by UAA including market and contact information. We already have great publications and resources and I want us to continue to provide more. • By year end we plan on releasing the first quarterly rental market data report that will cover both large apartments and independent rental units. I am excited to be part of and see the progression of the UAA.

2 – Make membership growth and outreach the #1 priority of UAA leadership and membership. We grew another 7,000 units this year and are making membership referrals a priority of the board, committees, and all members. • Last month we held a membership appreciation event to reward referrers we gave a grand prize of 1,000 dollars for membership referrals. We also just received a national award for membership growth, I think the more we grow the better we can serve our industry. So I would ask each of you to help us continue to grow this coming 2016 year by referring at least one new member each to the UAA this year.

4 – Continue to provide Quality Education opportunities for apartment managers like Apartment AllStars, UPRO and Good Landlord training etc. • UAA is the only association in the country that provides apartment all-stars training for free. In addition, our tradeshow education was the most attended ever. We have so many great programs I hope you will take advantage of.

3 – Establish UAA as the go-to place for data by developing and improving

5 – Create opportunities for members to have “fun” and release from

the stress of business. I personally love to have a good time and think this an important role of the association. • The UAA has provided countless opportunities to release myself from the stress of business and have fun. I thoroughly enjoy the many activities and meetings the UAA provides. I could not have accomplished these goals without the help of the 2015 board, committees, and UAA staff. It was an honor to serve the UAA as Board Chair this year. I look forward to the new heights that the 2016 Board Chair Peter Harradine will take with the UAA. I am grateful to be part of the great tradition of 80 years of volunteer leadership, as the UAA makes a difference in our business and in the lives of people in Utah.

Director’s Message

You the Members Run the Utah Apartment Association L. Paul Smith, CAE Executive Director, Utah Apartment Association

T

he Utah Apartment Association is classified by the IRS as a “501 C-6 Trade Association”. A trade association, also known as an industry trade group, business association or sector association, is an organization founded and funded by businesses that operate in a specific industry. According to Wikipedia. “An industry trade association participates in public relations activities such as advertising, education, political donations, lobbying and publishing. However, its main focus is collaboration between companies, or stan-

dardization. Associations may offer other services, such as producing conferences, networking or charitable events or offering classes or educational materials. Many associations are non-profit organizations governed by bylaws and directed by officers who are also members.” The part I want to focus on is that this association is governed by bylaws and directed by officers who are also members. In November, the 2015 UAA Board will be installed. That board will consist of thirty-three UAA members who come from diverse backgrounds. There will be landlords who own and manage single family homes and small rental properties. Others will own and manage large apartments. Some will be vendors who provide products and services to the industry. Many have multiple years of experience and great

expertise in property management. And though they are a diverse group they will unite as one entity to plan, direct and fulfill the mission of the Utah Apartment Association, which is that we should stay “Utah’s leading advocate and resource for the owners, real estate professionals, developers, management teams, suppliers and service providers dedicated to quality rental housing.” On the board, no one person has more power than the other. Even the board chair has no authority to make decisions or act for the board except that granted them by the board. There will occasionally be differences on the direction to proceed, how to allocate the precious funds of the association, and how to allocate the limited time of staff and volunteers. But they will be resolved because each board will shed any personal agenda

and learn to work as a team for the benefit of all members. The UAA does have a small staff but the strategic plan, our mission and goals, and ALL major decisions are made or supervised by the UAA board. In addition to board members, there will be another 150 UAA members who serve on committees like government affairs, events, membership and education. Committees also include a number of volunteers who will spend thousands of hours devoted to carrying out the work of the UAA. If you would like to give input to the UAA or get involved as a board or committee member please contact any board member (they are all listed in our membership directory and on the website www.uaahq.org) or contact a staff member at 888-487-5619.

From England to America ...continued from page 1 to the Denver airport the US immigration people searched through all of my bags and decided that I had too much stuff to be a tourist, like I had a Visa for, so they sent me on the next plane back to England to get my visa sorted out. I had to wait another two years before I could come back and reside as a permanent resident and then latter becoming a citizen”. Peter speaks with an endearing accent, one that gains him fame and attention wherever he goes. But it’s not the accent that impresses his real estate partner and father-in-law, Dave Harman Sr. with Century 21 Harman Real Estate and Harman Property Management Group. “Peter is a really hard worker,” says Dave. In fact, while Peter was dating his daughter Lisa, and finishing up his business degree, Dave saw something in him and asked him to come work for his property management business. “Over the last 10 years Peter has really learned the business well and during the last few years the business has grown tremendously under his leadership”, Says Dave. He adds, half-jokingly, “and now he is making me a ton of money!” Peter impresses everyone he meets, say Gloria Froerer, NAA Board Member and past President of the UAA. “I remember the first UAA board meeting he came to as a young fresh and new board member. When he talks, people really pay attention. And I don’t think it’s only because of his dreamy accent,” she says. Peter has worked his way up through UAA leadership and takes the helm of the UAA Board for 2016 at a time when he is also a rising star at the NAA. He serves on multiple

bers and others involved in sharing the importance of the UAA to others in the industry.” Peter has been an effective example of this. In 2015, two of the people Peter talked to about the UAA joined and he has several others on the hook that he is reeling in. “Some people who are in our industry just don’t know what the UAA does or understand how important the UAA is to our personal success. We just have to educate them and ask them to be a part of us. Once people join the association I think they soon realize what a great resource it is for them”. Among Peters other goals as board chair in 2016, Peter wants to focus on: • Stabilizing revenues streams and increase sponsorship income committees with the National Apartment Association including on the Independent Rental Owner’s Council and the Next Gen committee, where he is very respected.” Peter is a graduate of the NAA Lyceum program, an exclusive leadership training that only allows one person from the mountain west region per year. Peter is also a Certified Apartment Manager. As 2016 UAA Board Chair, Peter has set a goal to put emphasis on the mission statement and repeat the UAA Mission Statement at board meetings to help remind the board and staff of what our purpose is. “I think if we are evaluating all our activities by our mission statement we

will be more effective as an organization”, he says. Peter also wants to evaluate all UAA programs and services this year against the mission. “If what we are doing syncs with the mission,” he says,” we should keep it and ensure its success, if not then…” As one of UAA’s strongest members in Utah County, Peter has a desire to grow our membership in that county. “For some reason,” he says, “Utah County is where we have the lowest market penetration of any major county in Utah. It’s also the fastest growing county and one where we need to focus some of our membership growth efforts. I want to see not only staff focus more on Utah County but also all of our Utah county mem-

• Boost our value proposition by increasing networking opportunities, generating positive press in the media, and increasing our image and credibility with government and other groups • Continue to develop educational resources and training for maintenance, leasing and management “I am excited and honored to serve as board chair in 2016 and am thrilled to help continue our growth and accomplishments,” he says.

Rental Housing Journal Utah

Multifamily Financing Options ...continued from page 4 purpose is to expand the secondary mortgage market by securitizing mortgages in the form of mortgage-backed securities (MBS). This allows more lending by reducing the reliance on locally based banks and credit unions. Fannie & Freddie Interest rates for Multifamily properties in today’s marketplace range from 3.75% to 5% depending on variables such as Loan To Value (LTV), Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), location of the property, and term of the loan. Fannie and Freddie have their nuances but in a general sense the two are quite similar. They both have programs for purchase or refinance loans including value-add type projects, student housing, and seniors housing. Ultimately the two are competitors so it makes sense to compare pricing, sizing, and structuring options between the two before picking one or the other. A very attractive aspect of Fannie and Freddie loans is they are non-recourse loans. Borrowers familiar with banks know most bank loans come with a full recourse stipulation attached. Usually they like the fact the property is the only collateral against the loan rather than any and all assets the borrower possesses. The max LTV with Fannie is 80% with a 1.25 DSCR whereas Freddie Mac is slightly more conservative at 75% LTV, 1.25 DSCR. Right now Freddie Mac rates are slightly lower,

however the underwriting process is slightly more cumbersome and can lengthen the time to fund by a week or two. Small Balance Loan Program Freddie Mac has developed a fantastic multifamily mortgage product for borrowers needing a loan in the $1 - $5 million range. It is called the Freddie Mac Small Balance Loan program and offers low rates (currently in the 4%-5% range depending on term, market, and LTV), minimal fees, and a streamlined process to funding in approximately 60-90 days. This is also a non-recourse loan with interest only options available. This is a perfect loan for a stabilized 20-50 unit property in Utah on either a new acquisition or a refinance. It is even possible to pull cash out of a property of this size with substantial equity. FHA Insured Multifamily Loans FHA is a part of The Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) and also insures loans for multifamily properties. There are a lot of misconceptions about FHA multifamily loans. It is true there is more bureaucracy to negotiate when going through the FHA process for a multifamily loan. There are also ongoing management stipulations that really just ensure the property continues to be well run and well maintained. Some of these regulations are unique to FHA loans but are ultimately nec-

essary to justify the low interest rates and longer terms. The benefits of a FHA loan can easily outweigh some of these challenges. The interest rates are currently in the mid 3% range for existing properties and the low 4% range on new construction. The most compelling feature of these loans is the 35 year term and amortization (40 year on new construction). This fully eliminates any future refinance risk in 5, 7 or 10 years. Undoubtedly we’re moving into a higher interest rate environment. The longer term and lower rates also reduces the monthly payment so monthly cash flows become richer. A recent comparison of a FHA vs. GSE loan on a $10 million mortgage showed over a $90,000 per year savings with the FHA option. Typically it doesn’t make financial sense to do a Multifamily FHA loan for loan amounts under $2.5 million because of the initial upfront work, but it can be done. FHA loans are also non-recourse mortgages.

can also be very attractive but are subject to the usual constraints of LTV, DSCR, Term and quality of property. Summary With regard to multifamily borrowing, the important thing to realize is there are a lot of loan options out there for multifamily property owners and developers. There is a much broader spectrum of funding options than what the banks offer. Non-bank loan origination will typically be more creative, move faster, and provide more flexible solutions around the borrower’s needs and unique situations. Bonneville multifamily Capital is a Utah company who does more than just make loans: they build relationships that last.

Life Insurance Company Loans Life insurance companies are typically more conservative funders of loans. This means the borrower will need more equity in the project (max LTV’s are in the 70% range), but they do offer early rate locks and can be more flexible around funding projects that aren’t fully leased up after construction.

Lockouts

Leverage Your “Internet Real Estate” with Property-Wide WiFi. By Jeremy Shorts, Utah Eviction Law

DO • Take lots of pictures or video of the condition of the property when you get in. • Have a constable assist you with the lockout. • Inventory all items left behind and follow strictly Utah’s abandonment laws. • Change the locks, even of your tenant has left the keys.

DON’T • Change the locks on your tenants without a court order. • Shut off the utilities as a means to lock them out. • Threaten the tenants that the locks will be changed at a certain time unless you have a court order that tells them they need to leave at that time. Even then, it is best to leave it up to the Constable or Sheriff.
