Effective asset management requires a thorough understanding of real estate performance and its integration with investment returns to ensure delivery of tax credits and other benefits to each of NNEHIF's funds and direct investors. Our asset management is characterized by abundant technical assistance to managers as well as collaboration with capable local professionals.
NNEHIF's asset management begins before there is an asset to manage. Our staff assists in underwriting prospective deals and review of operating budgets, design issues and tenant selection plans from an operator's perspective. We promote management expertise in both fundamental real estate operations and in regulatory compliance. We support sponsors new to running tax credit properties by assessment of staff and procedures, upgrading of management documents, and hands-on assistance with critical steps such as lease-up.
