determined using this underwriting
process and will include a
determination of the restructuring tools
that will minimize the cost to the
Government consistent with the
purposes of this NOFA. To help assure
a balanced utilization of revitalization
tools and the long-term economic
viability of revitalized projects, the MPR
underwriting guidelines include, but are
not limited to the following:
(i) The maximum bullet loan is
limited to no more than $5,000 per unit,
(ii) The total assistance provided from
a revitalization grant, rehabilitation
loan, and/or a bullet loan is limited to
$10,000 per unit,
(iii) The maximum Section 515 one
percent loan is limited to no more than
$20,000 per unit,
(iv) Properties receiving tax credits
are expected to have sufficient funding
sources and generally will receive debt
deferral only.
(4) Properties with more than 75
percent of the units receiving deep
tenant subsidy such as Rural
Development rental assistance or HUDfunded tenant subsidy will be
supplemented with rehabilitation loans
and Section 515 loans before grant and
bullet loans are considered,
(5) Grants will be limited to $5,000
per unit,
(6) Any rent increases that may be
necessary will not exceed 10 percent in
any one year,
(7) The approved MPR transaction
will include projected revenue
sufficient to cover a 10 percent
Operations and Maintenance increase in
the second year after the transaction,
(8) Full return to owner will be
budgeted pursuant to the Loan
Agreement,
(9) Budgeted increases to reserve
deposit will not exceed 3 percent per
annum,
(10) The remaining reserve balance at
the end of the 20-year analysis period
should be at least 2.0 times the average
annual needs, including inflation, over
the 20-year analysis period.
These guidelines have been
developed based on experience in the
FY 2005 and FY 2006 Demonstrations.
The Agency believes that these
guidelines will be appropriate for
typical transactions. However, the
Agency reserves the right to waive any
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
of the guidelines if, in the Agency’s
judgment, doing so would further the
objectives of the Demonstration and is
in the best interest of the Government.
The Agency expects that some of the
transactions proposed by selected preapplicants will prove to be infeasible.
The applicant entity may be determined
to be ineligible under Section III of this
Notice. If a proposed transaction is
determined infeasible or the applicant
determined ineligible, the Agency will
then select the next highest ranked
project for processing.
Each MPR offer will be approved by
the Revitalization Review Committee
chaired by the Deputy Administrator for
Multi-Family Housing or an agencyauthorized delegate. Approved MPR
offers will be presented to applicants
who will then have up to 15 calendar
days to accept or reject the offer in
writing. Offers will expire after 15 days.
The Agency will replace expired
applications by selecting the next
highest ranked project. Closing of MPR
offers will occur within 90 days of
acceptance by the applicant unless
extended by the Agency.
IX. Funding Restrictions
Applicants will be selected in
accordance with selection criteria and
the five-step process identified in
Section VII of this Notice. Once selected
to proceed, the Agency will provide
additional guidance to the applicant and
request information and documents
necessary to complete the underwriting
and review process. Since the character
of each application may vary
substantially depending on the type of
transactions proposed, information
requirements will be provided as
appropriate. Complete project
information must be submitted as soon
as possible but in no case later than 45
days from the date of Agency
notification of the applicant’s selection
for further processing or September 1,
2007, whichever occurs first. Failure to
submit the required information in a
timely manner may result in the Agency
discontinuing the processing of the
request.
Funding under this NOFA will be
obligated to selectees that finish the
processing steps outlined above first
within each of the 3 funding queues
described in Section VII of this Notice

and to result in a ratio as close as
possible to 30 percent portfolio sale
transactions, 50 percent complex
transactions, and 20 percent simple
transactions.
X. Application Review
A review committee will make
recommendations for final decision
regarding funding to the appropriate
Rural Development State Director based
on the selection criteria contained in
this NOFA.
XI. Appeal Process
All adverse determinations regarding
applicant eligibility and the awarding of
points as a part of the selection process
are appealable. Instructions on the
appeal process will be provided at the
time an applicant is notified of the
adverse action.

petitioning firm.
