Kim Lisa Taylor and Krisha Young of Syndication Attorneys PLLC welcome Homero Cabello Jr., the Deputy Executive Director at the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Homero shares insights from his decades of experience managing affordable housing programs and tax credit compliance that can be applied to projects nationwide. We'll discuss what it takes to qualify for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), what entity structures their deals need to qualify, and how LIHTC programs benefit syndicators, investors and low income tenants. This knowledge is perfect for sponsors looking to enter or scale in affordable housing, or looking to maximize cash flow and tax benefits for their existing and future deals. ChaptersIntroduction to LIHTC Programs and Types (00:04:40)Omero Cabello Jr. explained the two types of LIHTC programs: 9% program funding 70% of development costs, and 4% program with tax-exempt bonds funding about 80% of total development costs. He emphasized that each state must follow a qualified allocation plan dictating requirements and rules.Property Qualification and Requirements (00:07:28)Omero detailed that properties must maintain affordability for a minimum 30-year period. The program funds new construction, acquisition rehab, senior housing, and supportive housing for special needs populations. He emphasized their preference for mixed-income developments.Application Process and Common Challenges (00:08:18)Omero outlined that applications can be denied due to failure to meet threshold requirements, incomplete financial projections, and lack of local support. He emphasized the importance of securing resolutions from local government entities and state representatives.Sponsor Requirements and Team Composition (00:11:07)Omero detailed that sponsors must demonstrate experience, financial stability, and knowledge of compliance requirements. He highlighted the value of partnering with nonprofits or historically underutilized businesses.Compliance and Property Management (00:16:19)Omero stressed the importance of partnering with experienced property management companies that understand LIHTC programs and tenant qualification requirements.

Summary In this episode, Petia Whitmore from My MBA Path delves into the intricacies of the MBA application process, emphasizing the importance of storytelling, clarity of purpose, and the evaluation criteria used by admissions committees. Petia shares insights from her experience as a former Dean of MBA Admissions, outlining the two phases of the application process: evaluation and selection. She highlights the significance of crafting a unique narrative that showcases a candidate's impact and authenticity, while also addressing common misconceptions about test scores and work experience. The discussion culminates in practical advice for prospective applicants on how to approach their applications with curiosity and a sense of possibility. Takeaways Your application is more than just numbers. Craft a narrative that tells your unique story. Evaluation determines admissibility; selection determines desirability. Clarity of purpose is crucial in your application. Demonstrated impact can come in many forms. Authenticity is key to standing out. Quality of experience is more important than quantity. Test scores indicate academic preparedness but are not the sole factor. Timing your application can influence your chances of admission. Approach the application process with curiosity and openness.

Leslie is joined by Connie Livingston, Senior Lead Counselor at Empowerly, which empowers students to become the most successful version of themselves with personalized college and career guidance. Their tailored guidance helps students triumph over the college admissions process and spark the future of their dreams. Connie has worked in the field of college counseling since 2008. She began her career as an Assistant Director of Admissions at Brown University and has since moved on to Empowerly, where she has worked for the past three years. The pair examines the increasingly difficult college application process in the United States. More and more students are applying to college. More and more applications means a lower percentage of acceptance. So the bar has been raised. 4.0's are now 5.0's, competition is international, there are no more DEI policies or 'boxes' for affirmative action/diversity. So kids are taking SAT prep classes, doing a lot of outside work/volunteerism, etc. and additionally, parents are hiring college counselors. Here are the questions answered during the interview: 1. What does an outside college counselor do? 2. Is there a range of fees? (Some people think it's unattainable for them because of the price) 3. Do they help the students write their essays? (editing them, etc) 4. Is there any assistance with SAT's? 5. Does it increase a student's chances of admission if they utilize a college counselor that is separate from their high school's college counselor? 6. Why is Empowerly better than a student trying to solely use AI, like ChatGPT, to help them with the admissions process? The website for Empowerly is Empowerly.org.

For us I think it was like 150 members before we started actually monetizing. But you know, I would say you want to get to 100 members, you want to have at least 40, 50 die hard members that are engaging in there every single day. You want to get at least five to 10 conversations happening a day. If somebody can ask a question and have it answered that same day like that, that's the value creation right there, right? You don't want to be the one, you yourself answering every single question because you yourself, you don't know everything.” — Eugene Khayman, 00:08:33 → 00:09:25Monetizing and Scaling a Community: “Whenever somebody starts making a profit because of others, there's going to be some level of, like, why are we doing this? And there's also going to be that, that hesitation to grow. Everybody's going to be like, 'We're so great, we don't need more people.' Right? And we've crossed that bar—100 members, 200 members, 400 members—there's always that, ‘Oh, we're too big, we're too big, we're too big.' And you're going to get that pushback. The biggest thing that I think that helped us do it together is one, once we started monetizing, we started putting all of that money back into more events and more resources, building a team… Once you start adding back value by hiring people that help keep things organized, putting on calls regularly, doing events regularly, you'll get that respect from those members, those existing members. And then the new people that are coming in, you have to show that these new people actually bring value to the community.” — Eugene Khayman, 00:11:33 → 00:13:03Show notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicEugene Khayman - COO of Million Dollar Sellers

I'm excited to share this conversation with Will McCollum and Matthew Marshall, the passionate minds behind Citymakers Collective. This summer, they're hosting a transformative two-week program in Charleston, featuring some of the top practitioners in the New Urbanism and human-centered design movements. Their approach is holistic, hands-on, and experiential, with a mission to equip the next generation of city makers to design and build places that are resilient, beautiful, and centered on people. In this episode, we delve into the challenges of traditional education, what's missing, and why they felt compelled to create this innovative summer program. If you're a young professional or student working in the built environment—whether you're an architect, planner, builder, developer, engineer or something else—I highly encourage you to check it out and consider applying. Learn more at: citymakerscollective.org TAKEAWAYS The City Makers Collective program teaches principles that make cities more livable, sustainable, and people-focused. Participants engage with Charleston's urban fabric through walking tours, real-world case studies, and collaborative studio projects. The program blends timeless design principles with modern needs to create places that work for today's challenges. Architects, planners, developers, and more come together to foster holistic learning and solutions. Students learn how to navigate market realities, collaborate effectively, and implement sustainable practices in urban design. Instructors include top practitioners like Lou Oliver and Maria Sanchez (Estudio Urbano), offering a wealth of knowledge and diverse perspectives. The program addresses the lack of foundational training in urbanism and traditional design in most architecture schools. Participants gain access to a powerful network of professionals, creating lasting connections for their careers. The program offers scholarships and affordable housing options to ensure a wide range of students can participate. The City Makers Collective aims to grow beyond this summer, offering ongoing programs to shape the future of urbanism and architecture.

Our guests for today's podcast are Jen Vigilante and Maine Park, Counselors at College Labyrinth. College Labyrinth provides a highly personalized framework for students to pursue genuine interests, enriching the journey to college while finding the right next step. Most recently, Jen spent the past decade working in the Princeton University Undergraduate Admission Office, where she was an Associate Dean primarily responsible for the New York City schools, evaluating more than 2,000 applications each year. Maine is a long time friend AAAIM. During her own children's college application processes, Maine recognized the incredible value in reassuring and steering parents and students through an often difficult period. In Maine's own words, “Every child, including my own, has such different interests and strengths. It can feel overwhelming to try and find the right school, the right word, the right deadline! By starting College Labyrinth, I became the guide I wish I had when going through this process. My goal is for College Labyrinth to help students achieve more than just an acceptance letter, but an honest and healthy understanding of who they are and who they might become in the future.” Without further ado, here is our conversation with Jen Vigilante and Maine Park.
