Fall 2012 issue of Horizons

apartment owners have found themselves in a prosperous position during 2011 and for the next few years. Dubbed “the Year of the Landlord”, many will find 2012 to be successful, as the multifamily housing market is the apparent place to be. However, the industry does have some hazards looming on the horizon. Besides the potential threat of oversupply in the coming years, pending legislation could have a substantial effect on the industry’s turnaround – namely, in the affordable housing and tax credit arenas. With tax reform imminent, probabilities are high that all multifamily stakeholders will feel the impact to some degree, whether through reduced credits, subsidies or deductions. Many proponents of the affordable housing market have continued to promote the strengths of the industry’s mission and overall community impact. Nonetheless, time will tell as future legislation and its effects lie in the hands of our Congressional leaders.
