Opportunity The biggest challenge for affordable housing today is finding and sourcing appropriately priced real estate capital to fund the acquisition and rehabilitation of multifamily housing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Affordable housing is a low risk investment that typically has the full faith and support of local, state, and federal agencies. Affordable housing offers a relatively low risk, high quality adjusted return for investors over a period between 10 to 15 years, where federal or state tax credits and/or publicly issued bond financing are involved. The target investors are banks and other financial institutions that are required to invest in low and moderate-income communities under the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Given the relatively high competition and limited financial resources, the affordable housing industry is seeking new private financing sources that serve a triple bottom line investment for the betterment of People, Environment, and Real Estate. Product and Specifications Fast, convenient, and flexible investment in affordable housing through a syndicated investment fund of secured debt and preferred equity. Given the limitation of public funding sources with the elimination of redevelopment agencies in California, Social Capital Finance provides a real estate fund platform to finance multifamily housing projects using a simple and fast online tool to connect equity and secured debt investors with affordable housing developers who need financing to sustain existing multifamily housing and create new multifamily housing units in the San Francisco Bay Area. Market Size According to Marcus & Millichap, a commercial real estate broker, the multifamily market in the San Francisco Bay Area is at a feverish level for investors seeking multifamily projects with stable investment returns which have been driven down by higher property valuations in market rate and affordable multifamily housing. The market size in silicon valley is $1.4B to finance. Competitive Landscape Social Capital Finances competitive advantage is the ability to quickly connect motivated investors under the CRA requirements and motivated housing developers with fully entitled development projects or ready-to-go acquisition rehabs. Other competitors including Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) may be subject to federal oversight by federal financial institution regulators given the restrictions from Federal Home Loan Bank rules or public funding sources. Given the threat of budget cuts in The Congress and potential impact to subsidized rents in affordable housing, competitors need to explore alternative financing structures to help build and sustain affordable housing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Social Capital Finance offers two primary means for investors to finance affordable housing: (1) trust preferred equity, (2) secured debt, and (3) New Market Tax Credits. Currently, there are no competitors in the market that offer short-term valuation models for syndicated equity or debt in a secondary market for multifamily real estate equity or debt primarily due to the limitations of high transaction costs for public and private real estate investment funds. Social Capital Finance intends to be the first to market with this platform and offer low-cost transaction model to curtail future competition in the long run. Sales and Channel Strategy Success of the platform product relies on the marketing and distribution to the target U.S. accredited investors subject to CRA requirements; current channel partners under consideration is the Housing Trust Silicon Valley (former Opportunity Fund.) Pricing includes earning low cost broker fees on transactional exchanges of debt and preferred equity. Placement and promotion fees are driven through initial sales force, dealers, and syndicators in The Opportunity Finance Network and Affordable Housing Investors Council.
