of $430,000 for a new construction, mid‐rise, Enhanced Structural Systems Construction (“ESS”) property
was set. The Development exceeds this amount due to escalating material and labor costs; however this
policy shall not apply to Affordable Housing projects that have received 9% LIHTCs and other FHFC
programs resulting from tax credit applications that were previously awarded with maximum total
development cost per unit limits approved by FHFC. Additionally, The TDC limitations set forth in
Resolution No. R‐346‐15 shall not apply to public housing projects owned or operated by Miami‐Dade

The Applicant applied for 2023 Viability funding from FHFC under FHFC RFA 2023‐211 and the
application was accepted by FHFC on May 23, 2022. Preliminary Viability funding in the amount of
$4,300,000 will be in the form of a SAIL loan and has been sized based on the requirements of the
FHFC RFA. Please see Exhibit 5 for additional details.
2. Total Development Costs have increased by $975,901 from $59,425,148 to $60,401,049 since the
FHFC Viability application due to increases in construction costs, financial costs, Developer Fee and
reserve accounts.
3. The Applicant submitted an extension request dated December 19, 2022 to extend the firm
commitment issuance deadline from March 8, 2023 to September 8, 2023. The request was approved
at the March 10, 2023 Florida Housing Board meeting.
4. The Applicant requested a change to the ownership structure of Atlantic Pacific Communities, LLC, a
member of co‐developer APC Vista Breeze Development, LLC, in the transaction. Mr. Randy Weisburd,
a natural person, was replaced by the Randy K. Weisburd Revocable Trust, with Mr. Weisburd as the
sole trustee and beneficiary. The request was approved at the October 22, 2022 FHFC Board meeting.
5. The Applicant requested a change to the set‐asides for the Development:
Original Set‐Asides per the PHCD Commitment Letter:
20 units at or below 30% of Area Median income (“AMI”)
31 units at or below 60% of AMI
68 units at or below 70% of AMI
Proposed Set‐Asides:
20 units at or below 30% of AMI
69 units at or below 60% of AMI
30 units at or below 80% of AMI
PHCD approved the set‐aside change via email dated October 30, 2023.
6. In a letter dated June 22, 2023, the Applicant submitted a request to alter the ownership structure of
the Applicant as follows, with proposed changes in red:

FHFC staff approved the change for documentation purposes as of July 27, 2023; however, FHFC Board
approval of an RFA waiver for the revised Applicant ownership structure is a condition precedent to
loan closing.
In the opinion of AmeriNat, the aforementioned changes are not anticipated to have a detrimental effect
on the Development.
Strengths:
1. The Development Team has demonstrated the ability to successfully develop and operate affordable
multifamily rental communities using a variety of different subsidies.
2. A market study was performed by Meridian Appraisal Group, Inc. (“Meridian”) dated March 17, 2023
that identifies six existing comparable affordable properties located within the Competitive Market
Area (“CMA”) with a total of 646 units. The report concludes an average weighted occupancy rate for
the CMA of 100% which satisfies the minimum 92% occupancy rate requirement of Rule Chapters 67‐
21 and 67‐48 F.A.C. The performance of comparable properties indicates significant demand for
affordable housing.
Other Considerations:
1. The Construction Contract contains language wherein actual documented increases in the cost of
concrete and rebar only up to a maximum of 15% of their respective original amounts will be allowed.
2. Based upon the estimates of the Operating Pro Forma, the amount of Deferred Developer Fee may
not be paid back in 15 years. To the extent the Deferred Developer Fee is not paid by the end of year
12, the Guarantors shall be obligated to contribute to the Applicant an amount equal to the unpaid
Deferred Developer Fee. As such, any risk associated with any tax credit recapture resulting from the
nonpayment of any Developer Fee is assumed by the Guarantors. The Guarantors have sufficient
financial capacity to make a loan to the partnership, if needed. Language documenting this payment
should be present in the Limited Partnership Agreement, once drafted.
Issues and Concerns:
1. None
Waiver Requests:
1. According to the FHFC RFA, the Corporation will review the limited partnership agreement or limited
liability company operating agreement language on reserves for compliance with the RFA
requirement. If the limited partnership agreement or limited liability company operating agreement
does not specifically state that the parties will comply with the Corporation’s RFA requirements, the
Corporation will require an amendment of the agreement and will not issue IRS form(s) 8609 until the
amendment is executed and provided to the Corporation. The RFA includes language restricting the
MHRB and SURTAX UNDERWRITING REPORT AMERINAT
VISTA BREEZE PAGE A‐8
November 9, 2023
disposition of any funds remaining in any operating deficit reserve(s) after the term of the reserve’s
original purpose has terminated or is near termination. The RFA also requires the Corporation to
review the limited partnership agreement or limited liability company operating agreement language
on reserves for compliance with the RFA requirement. While Florida Housing will continue to require
the Applicant to adhere to all requirements in the RFA including the restrictions on the disposition of
any funds in an operating deficit reserve account, Florida Housing will not monitor the limited
partnership agreement or limited liability company operating agreement language for compliance
with these requirements, as this would require analysis of a legal contract. This deviation in process
was included as an Information Item in the April 29, 2022 FHFC Board Meeting.
Special Conditions:
1. PHCD approval of a Debt Service Coverage (“DSC”) below a 1.10x to 1.00 during the first 15 years of
stabilized operations for the Development is a condition precedent to loan closing.
2. FHFC Board approval of an RFA waiver for the proposed Applicant ownership structure is a condition
precedent to loan closing.
3. Receipt of an executed Management Agreement is a condition precedent to loan closing.
4. Receipt of the tax ID# for Vista Breeze HACMB, Inc., the General Partner in the transaction, and a
satisfactory credit report for the entity is a condition precedent to loan closing.
5. Receipt of an executed P&P bond in the full amount of the Construction Contract is a condition
precedent to loan closing.
6. Receipt of an executed Construction Contract is a condition precedent to loan closing.
7. Any changes to the Construction Contract as underwritten herein will require review and opinion by
the construction consultant retained by AmeriNat. This is a condition precedent to loan closing.
8. Receipt of an executed HUD HAP contract consistent with the number of units, rents, and contract
length as has been underwritten herein is a condition precedent to loan closing.
9. Completion of the HUD Section 3 pre‐construction conference is a condition precedent to loan closing.
10. The Development shall meet the Section 3 requirements of the Housing and Urban Development Act
of 1968 as amended (12 U.S.C. 1701u and 24 CFR Part 135) is a condition precedent to loan closing.
11. Satisfactory receipt of the Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan is a condition precedent to loan
closing.
12. Per FHFC Rule 67‐48, the minimum DSC ratio shall be 1.10x for the SAIL Loan, including all superior
mortgages. However, per Rule 67‐48, if the Applicant defers at least 35% of its Developer Fee
following the last disbursement of all permanent sources of funding identified in the final credit
underwriting report and, in the case of a Housing Credit Development, the final cost certification
documentation, and when the primary expected source of repayment has been identified as
projected cash flow, the minimum DSC shall be 1.00x for the SAIL Loan, including all superior
MHRB and SURTAX UNDERWRITING REPORT AMERINAT
VISTA BREEZE PAGE A‐9
November 9, 2023
mortgages. The Applicant will be required to show permanent Deferred Developer Fee of at least 35%
as the SAIL Loan DSC is 1.07x is a condition precedent to loan closing.
Additional Information:
1. Per FHFC Rule Chapter 67‐48 F.A.C. (the “Rule”), the minimum (“DSC”) shall be 1.10x to 1.00 for the
SAIL loan and all superior mortgages. However, per Rule 67‐48, if the Applicant defers at least 35%
of its Developer Fee following the last disbursement of all permanent sources of funding identified in
the final credit underwriting report and, in the case of a Housing Credit Development, the final cost
certification documentation, and when the primary expected source of repayment has been identified
as projected cash flow, the minimum DSC shall be 1.00x for the SAIL Loan, including all superior
mortgages. The Applicant will be required to show permanent Deferred Developer Fee of at least
35% as the SAIL Loan DSC is 1.07x. AmeriNat has utilized a total of $149,865 of the budgeted
Operating Deficit Reserve (“ODR”) during the first five years of operations; this includes $58,870 to
achieve a 1.07x DSC for the SAIL loan and all superior mortgages in Year 1 of stabilized operations and
a 1.00x for all debt and fees, as shown in the One‐Year Operating Pro Forma and 15‐Year Pro Forma.
2. Per PHCD’s FY 2022 Multifamily RFA, the Development must achieve a DSC between 1.10x and 1.60x
applicable to the first 15 years of operations. The PHCD RFA also states that DSC is subject to PHCD’s
discretion. As detailed above, the Development will have an all‐in DSC of 1.00x to 1.00, inclusive of
PHCD funding. As such, approval of the deviation via acceptance of this CUR is a condition precedent
to loan closing.
Recommendation:
AmeriNat recommends HFAMDC issue MHRB in the amount of $31,000,000 and PHCD authorize Surtax /
SHIP funding in the amount of $5,950,000 for the benefit of the Applicant for the construction and
permanent phase financing of Vista Breeze.
These recommendations are based upon the assumptions detailed in the Report Summary (Section A) and
Supporting Information and Schedules (Section C). In addition, these recommendations are subject to the
MHRB Special and General Conditions Recommendation (Section B). This recommendation is only valid
for six months from the date of the report. The reader is cautioned to refer to these sections for complete
information.

Overview
Construction Financing Sources:
Proposed First Mortgage Loan:
The Applicant provided a letter of interest (“LOI”) from BoA CDB dated as of May 15, 2023, with term
update emails dated July 12, 2023 and November 8, 2023. The LOI illustrates that BoA CDB will provide a
construction loan in an amount not to exceed $30,350,000. The proceeds will be used to pay project costs
on a drawdown basis either directly to the Borrower or through a Fiscal Agent, at the discretion of HFA
MDC. The maximum term of the loan shall be 30 months from the date of loan closing, plus one six‐month
extension. No extension requirements were included in the LOI or update email.
The interest‐only construction loan will bear interest at a variable rate based on the daily SOFR index
(5.32% as of the date of the LOI) plus a 1.95% spread, a BoA CDB underwriting adjustment of 1.00% and a
closing cushion by the Applicant of 0.48%. AmeriNat added an additional 1.00% underwriting cushion to
the rate stack for an all‐in interest rate of 9.75% for its underwriting. The annual HFAMDC Issuer Fee of
25 bps and Fiscal Agent Fee of $4,500 are included in the Pro Forma section of this report.
Proposed Second Mortgage Loan:
AmeriNat reviewed a Notice of Preliminary Award from Florida Housing, dated June 14, 2023, with a
preliminary Viability Loan in the amount of $4,300,000. Based on the parameters listed in FHFC RFA 2023‐
211, a Viability Loan in the amount of $4,300,000 has been sized. The Viability Loan is non‐amortizing with
an interest rate of 1.00% over the life of the loan with annual payments based upon available cash flow
as determined by Florida Housing. The Viability loan total term will be 20.5 years, including a 30‐month
construction/stabilization period and an 18‐year permanent period. As required by the first mortgage
lender and permitted by FHFC RFA 2023‐211, the Viability Loan will be coterminous with the first
mortgage. Annual payments of all applicable fees will be required. Any unpaid interest will be deferred
until cash flow is available. However, at the maturity of the Viability Loan, all principal and unpaid interest
will be due. Viability loan proceeds shall be disbursed during the construction phase in an amount per

financing on transactions with related parties (substantial users). The conversion fee will be required
to be reserved in an account owned by the Applicant to be held by the fiscal agent or trustee under
the primary transaction document. The conversion fee will be equal to 25 basis points of the original
principal amount of the Obligation (or maximum allowable funding amount for draw down
obligations) multiplied by the maximum construction period including extensions, in this case 30
months. If the transaction does not convert, the reserved conversion fee will be returned to the
Applicant.
9. The remaining financial costs appear reasonable.
Notes to the Other Development Costs:
1. Developer Fee does not exceed 18% of Development Costs before Land and exclusive of reserves as
permitted by FHFC RFA 2021‐205 and FHFC Rule Chapters 67‐21 and 67‐48. Consultant agreements
received comprised $80,400 which is shown as a subset of Developer Fee.
2. During construction, the Developer shall only be allowed to draw a maximum of fifty percent (50%)
of the total developer fee, but in no case more than the payable developer fee during construction
(the "Developer's Overhead"). No more than thirty‐five percent (35%) of Developer's Overhead will
be funded at Loan closing. The remainder of the Developer's Overhead will be disbursed during
construction on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage of completion of the Development, as
approved and reviewed by Florida Housing and the Servicer. The remaining unpaid developer fee shall
be considered attributable to "Developer's Profit" and will not be funded until the Development has
achieved one hundred percent (100%) lien free completion, and only after Retainage has been
released.
AmeriNat estimates payable Developer Fee at closing to be $1,071,450, the Developer’s Overhead is
estimated to be $1,989,837, and the Developer’s Profit is estimated to be $2,444,576, which will be
funded following 100% lien free completion. The remaining $3,003,588 will be permanently deferred
and will be paid from the Development’s cash flow from operations.

Notes to Land Acquisition Costs:
1. The Applicant provided a Ground Lease (the “Ground Lease”) dated November 1, 2020 between the
Applicant and the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach for three scattered sites being
developed. The Ground Lease illustrates a term of 65 years from the date of construction loan closing
and a capitalized lease payment of $3,850,000 due upon construction loan closing, but in no event
later than December 31, 2022.
AmeriNat received an Amended and Restated Ground Lease Agreement dated August 6, 2021, which
increased the lease payment to $4,085,000, confirmed the 65‐year term, and extended the deadline
to March 31, 2024 for lease term to begin.
AmeriNat received a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Ground lease Agreement dated
June 1, 2023 which removed one parcel, leaving the two sites being used for the Development.
2. An Appraisal performed by Meridian August 16, 2023 identified an “As Is” value for the vacant land of
$11,900,000, which supports the capitalized ground lease payment of $4,085,000. The lesser of the
two values has been used for underwriting purposes.
Notes to the Reserve Accounts:
1. The LOIs for debt and equity were silent regarding reserves; however, an operating reserve equal to
approximately three months of operating expenses, debt service, and replacement reserves has been
underwritten. Additionally, the Applicant has indicated they will be funding a start‐up/lease up
reserve in the amount of $113,579.
In exchange for receiving funding from the Corporation, the Corporation reserves the authority to
restrict the disposition of any funds remaining in any operating deficit reserve(s) after the term of the
reserve’s original purpose has terminated or is near termination. Authorized disposition uses are
limited to payments towards any outstanding loan balances of the Development funded from the
Corporation, any outstanding Corporation fees, any unpaid costs incurred in the completion of the
Development (i.e., deferred Developer Fee), the Development’s capital replacement reserve account
(provided, however, that any operating deficit reserve funds deposited to the replacement reserve
account will not replace, negate, or otherwise be considered an advance payment or pre‐funding of
the Applicant’s obligation to periodically fund the replacement reserve account), the reimbursement
of any loan(s) provided by a partner, member or guarantor as set forth in the Applicant’s
organizational agreement (i.e., operating or limited partnership agreement). The actual direction of
the disposition is at the Applicant’s discretion so long as it is an option permitted by the Corporation.
In no event, shall the payment of amounts to the Applicant or the Developer from any operating
deficit reserve established for the Development cause the Developer Fee or General Contractor fee
to exceed the applicable percentage limitations provided for in the FHFC RFA.

2. At the end of the Compliance Period, any remaining balance of the ODR less amounts that may be
permitted to be drawn (which includes Deferred Developer Fee and reimbursements for authorized
member/partner and guarantor loan(s) pursuant to the operating/partnership agreement), will be
used to pay FHFC debt; if there is no FHFC loan debt on the proposed Development at the end of the
Compliance Period, any remaining balance shall be used to pay any outstanding FHFC fees. If any
balance remains in the ODR after the payments above, the amount should be placed in a Replacement
Reserve account for the Development. In no event shall the payments of amounts to Applicant or the
Developer from the Reserve Account cause the Developer fee or General Contractor Fee to exceed
the applicable percentage limitations provided for in the Rule. Any and all terms and conditions of the
ODR must be acceptable to FHFC, its Servicer and its Legal Counsel. Start‐Up/Lease‐up Expenses,
insurance and Property Tax escrows are per the Applicant’s development budget.
Notes to Total Development Costs:
1. Total Development Costs have increased by $975,901 from $59,425,148 to $60,401,049 since the
Viability application due to increases in construction costs, financial costs, Developer Fee and reserve
accounts.

Notes to the Operating Pro Forma and Ratios:
1. Gross Potential Rental Revenue is based upon all 119 of the units at the Development receiving Project
Based Vouchers. The Development will also be utilizing Housing Credits in conjunction with SAIL, ELI,
& NHTF which will impose rent restrictions. Under the HC, SAIL and ELI programs, the Development
will set aside 16.807% of its total units (20 units) at or below 30% of Area Median Income (“AMI”).
Additional restrictions imposed by the HC and SAIL programs consists of 57.983% of the total units
(69 units) at or below 60% of AMI and 25.210% of the total units (30 units) at or below 80% of AMI.
For the NHTF program, the Development will set aside 4.202% of the total units (5 units) at or below
22% of AMI. Overall, the maximum Housing Credit rents for 2022 published on FHFC’s website for the
Development are achievable as confirmed by the appraiser as these were the rents in place at the
time of the report. Please note that the utility allowances are based on a Section 8 Utility Allowance
Study dated August 21, 2021 (the “UA Report”) completed by KN Consultants, LLC for HACMB. A rent
roll for the Development property is illustrated in the following table:

When calculating an average market rental rate based on the unit mix and annualized rent
concessions, the rent advantage for all of the units at the Development is in excess of 110% of the
applicable maximum Housing Credit rental rate.
2. Ancillary income includes items such as application fees, pet deposits, and other miscellaneous fees.
3. A 3.00% physical vacancy rate and a 1.00% collection loss rate was applied for underwriting purposes
based on the Development and comparable developments as concluded in the appraisal. The
inclusion of a portion of the ODR, as noted in item #13 on page A‐29, reduces those amounts to 2.89%
and 0.96%, respectively.
4. AmeriNat utilized a real estate tax expense of $1,344 per unit based upon the Applicant’s pro forma
and comparable properties surveyed by the appraiser. The estimate also took into account the income
restrictions of the Development and a 4% early payment discount.
5. AmeriNat utilized an estimate of $1,500 per unit for insurance, which is consistent with the appraisal.
The Development will be located in a flood zone designated “AE”. Zone “AE” is an area within the 100‐
year flood plain and, as such, flood insurance will be required.
6. The Applicant submitted a draft Property Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated May 16,
2023 wherein Atlantic Pacific Community Management, LLC (“APCM”), a related entity of the
Applicant, will manage the Development. The Agreement states the initial term shall be for one year
but will be automatically renewed on a yearly basis unless terminated by the Owner or Applicant in
accordance with the Agreement. Upon stabilization, ACPM shall receive a monthly fee (“the
Management Fee”) equal to 5.00% of monthly Effective Gross Income. An executed property
management agreement is a condition precedent to loan closing. The inclusion of a portion of the
ODR, as noted in item #13 on page A‐29, reduces that percentage to 4.80%.

7. Replacement Reserves of $35,700 or a minimum of $300 per unit per annum, per the FHFC RFA and
Rule Chapters 67‐21 and 67‐48.
8. First Mortgage Fees are as follows: the MHRB has an Annual Authority Fee of 25 basis points of the
original principal amount of the Bonds. In addition, the Developer will be required to pay the cost of
an annual audit of the accounts held under the indenture a funding loan agreement. The minimum
ongoing fee shall be $10,000 annually. The annual MHRB Compliance Monitoring Fee is an amount
equal to $30.00 per rental unit in the Development. The Trustee Fee is included in First Mortgage Fees
and is estimated at $4,500 annually. There is a 0.14% early redemption fee on the bonds with a
minimum fee of $20,000.
9. The Viability Loan has an annual Permanent Loan Servicing Fee based on 25 basis points of the
outstanding loan amount, with a minimum monthly fee of $236 and a maximum monthly fee of $936,
and an hourly fee of $198 for extraordinary services.
10. The SAIL Loan has an annual Permanent Loan Servicing Fee based on 25 basis points of the outstanding
loan amount, with a minimum monthly fee of $236 and a maximum monthly fee of $936, and an
hourly fee of $198 for extraordinary services. The annual Compliance Monitoring Multiple Program
Fee is $1,023.
11. The ELI Loan has an annual Permanent Loan Servicing Fee based on 25 basis points of the outstanding
loan amount, with a minimum monthly fee of $236 and a maximum monthly fee of $936, and an
hourly fee of $198 for extraordinary services. The annual Compliance Monitoring Multiple Program
Fee is $1,023.
12. The NHTF Loan has an annual Permanent Loan Servicing Fee based on 25 basis points of the
outstanding loan amount, with a minimum monthly fee of $236 and a maximum monthly fee of $936,
and an hourly fee of $198 for extraordinary services. The annual Compliance Monitoring Multiple
Program Fee is $1,023.
13. Based upon an estimated Net Operating Income (“NOI”) of $994,708 for the proposed Development’s
initial year of stabilized operations; the First Mortgage loan can be supported by operations at a 1.19x
to 1.00 Debt Service Coverage (“DSC”). The combined amount of the superior mortgages and SAIL
loan can be supported by operations at a 1.07x to 1.00 DSC. All mortgage loans and fees can be
supported by operations at a 1.00x to 1.00 DSC. Per FHFC Rule Chapter 67‐48 F.A.C. (the “Rule”), the
minimum debt service coverage (“DSC”) shall be 1.10x to 1.00 for the SAIL loan and all superior
mortgages. However, per Rule 67‐48, if the Applicant defers at least 35% of its Developer Fee
following the last disbursement of all permanent sources of funding identified in the final credit
underwriting report and, in the case of a Housing Credit Development, the final cost certification
documentation, and when the primary expected source of repayment has been identified as
projected cash flow, the minimum DSC shall be 1.00x for the SAIL Loan, including all superior
mortgages. Please note that in order to meet the minimum DSC per Rule, the Development will need
to utilize $77,895 of the ODR during year 1 of stabilized operations and a total of $254,659 over the
first five years of stabilized operations. PHCD approval of a DSC below 1.10x to 1.00 is a condition
precedent to loan closing.
14. A 15‐year Operating Pro forma attached hereto as Exhibit 1 reflects rental income increasing at an
annual rate of 2% and expenses increasing at an annual rate of 3%.

member/partner and guarantor loan(s) pursuant to the operating/partnership agreement), will be
used to pay FHFC debt; if there is no FHFC loan debt on the proposed Development at the end of the
Compliance Period, any remaining balance shall be used to pay any outstanding FHFC fees. If any
balance is remaining in the ODR after the payments above, the amount should be placed in a
Replacement Reserve account for the Development. In no event shall the payments of amounts to
Applicant or the Developer from the Reserve Account cause the Developer fee or General Contractor
Fee to exceed the applicable percentage limitations provided for in the Rule. Any and all terms and
conditions of the ODR must be acceptable to FHFC, its Servicer and its Legal Counsel.
This recommendation is contingent upon the review and approval of the following items by HFAMDC and

Additional Development & Third‐Party Supplemental Information
Appraised Value: AmeriNat received and satisfactorily reviewed an appraisal prepared by
Meridian Appraisal Group, Inc. (“Meridian”) dated August 16, 2023. The
appraisal was executed by Robert Von, a State Certified General Real Estate
Appraiser whose Florida license number is RZ1604 that expires November 30,
2024.
The report estimates the hypothetical value, “As if Stabilized” of the
Development’s leased fee interest, subject to unrestricted rents, based on
market conditions prevailing on March 2, 2023 is $29,760,000. This conclusion
is based on a market capitalization rate and a Net Operating Income derived
from market rents and expenses supported by comparable market rate
properties within the Development’s market. Upon stabilization, the resulting
loan to value for the Permanent First Mortgage is equal to 39.9% and the loan
to value for the combined Permanent First Mortgage, Viability Loan and SAIL
loan is 64.4%.
The report also estimates the hypothetical value, “As if Stabilized” of the
Development’s leased fee interest, subject to the rental restrictions under the
SAIL, ELI, NHTF, PBV and HC programs, and with market financing based on
market conditions prevailing on March 2, 2023, is $20,380,000. This conclusion
is based on a capitalization rate and a Net Operating Income derived from rents
restricted by the aforementioned programs with expenses supported by
comparable income‐restricted properties within the Development’s market.
The resulting loan to value for the Permanent First Mortgage is equal to 58.3%
upon stabilization and the loan to value for the combined Permanent First
Mortgage, Viability Loan and SAIL loan is 94.1%.
The report concludes that the Development’s “As Is” market value of the fee
simple interest in the Development’s site based on market conditions prevailing
on March 2, 2023 is $11,900,000. This supports the $4,085,000 that will be paid
to the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach at loan closing in the form
of a capitalized lease payment.
Market Study: A separate market study dated March 17, 2023 was prepared by Meridian. The
market study concludes there is demand in the marketplace for the
Development as conceived and the market for affordable rental developments
within the PMA is strong based upon capture rates of income‐eligible renter
households and the weighted occupancy (100%) of comparable affordable
housing developments.
The Development will be located in Miami‐Dade County in what we have
defined as the South Florida Regional Area (region) in the southern portion of
Florida. For purposes of this discussion, the South Florida Regional Area is
defined to contain the Miami‐Fort Lauderdale‐Palm Beach CBSA (Broward
County, Miami‐Dade County and Palm Beach County) as defined by the US
Census Bureau and includes the Key West Micropolitan Statistics Area (Monroe
County).

These four counties encompass about 10,055 square miles of which 3,757
square miles are made up of water (37.36%) and 6,298 square miles are land
area (83.51%). Palm Beach County encompasses 2,386 total square miles with
412 square miles of water (17.27%); Broward County encompasses 1,320
square miles with 114 square miles of water (8.66%); Miami‐Dade County
encompasses 2,431 square miles with 485 square miles of water (19.96%); and
Monroe County encompasses 3,738 square miles with 2,745 square miles of
water (73.43%) and the Florida Everglades National Park makes up a large
majority of the county total land area. Broward County is the state’s 2nd most
populous with 8.93% of the state’s population. Miami‐Dade County is the
state’s 1st most populous with 12.48% of the state’s population. Monroe
County is the state’s 38th most populous with 0.38% of the state’s population.
Palm Beach County is the state’s 3rd most populous with 6.86% of the state’s
population.
The Development will be located in a mixed‐use encompassing the city of
Miami Beach. It is improved with established hotels, multi‐family apartments
and condos interspersed with single family estates and commercial/retail
corridors primarily catering to the tourist trade. The area is significantly built‐
up. The neighborhood is one of the higher income areas in Miami‐Dade County.
There are necessary supporting commercial services for residential
development and several employment centers are within proximity to the
Development. There is significant multi‐family development (mostly older small
projects) in the neighborhood, and demand for affordable housing in the area
is high due to this submarket having the highest rental rates in the State of
Florida, suggesting that the Development should receive market acceptance as
an affordable apartment.
The apartment market within Miami‐Dade County consists of a wide variety of
unit types ranging from older subsidized housing, older market rate projects,
newer affordable projects and new luxury market rate projects. The
Development is located in the North Miami Beach submarket which is one of
16 submarkets in Miami‐Dade County. Apartment rents in the Miami market
were rising at a 4.9% annual rate during the first quarter of 2023 and have
posted an average annual gain of 7.8% over the past three years. There are
29,000 units currently underway, representing the largest under construction
pipeline in over three years. Over the past three years, 20,000 units have been
delivered, or a cumulative inventory expansion of 12.6%. Vacancies were
basically in line with the 10‐year average as of 2023Q1 but trended upward over
the past four quarters. The vacancy rate in the North Beach Submarket has
remained stable over the past year, and at 6.7%, essentially aligns with the
long‐term average. There have been more demolitions than completions over
the past year. Even over an extended five‐year timeframe, the submarket's
apartment stock has contracted. Reversing the recent trend, about 350 units
are underway, which will expand the existing inventory by 4.9%. Rents have
increased by an impressive 5.3% over the past year, which significantly exceeds
the average annual growth of 2.6% over the past decade. The North Miami
Beach submarket has the fifth largest inventory in Miami‐Dade County, the
eighth highest number of deliveries in the past 12 months, the third most units
MHRB and SURTAX UNDERWRITING REPORT AMERINAT
VISTA BREEZE PAGE C‐3
November 9, 2023
under construction, the tenth lowest vacancy rates, the seventh highest
average absorption rate in the past 12 months and the 11th highest average
rental rates. Overall, the North Miami Beach submarket is a good apartment
location in Miami‐Dade County that is currently experiencing moderate to
strong growth.
The Development neighborhood is a mixed‐use encompassing the city of Miami
Beach. It is improved with established hotels, multi‐family apartments and
condos interspersed with single family estates and commercial/retail corridors
primarily catering to the tourist trade. The area is significantly built‐up. The
neighborhood is one of the higher income areas in Miami‐Dade County. There
are necessary supporting commercial services for residential development and
several employment centers are within proximity to the Development. There is
significant multi‐family development (mostly older small projects) in the
neighborhood, and demand for affordable housing in the area is high due to
this submarket having the highest rental rates in the State of Florida, suggesting
that the Development should receive market acceptance.
The Primary Market Area (“PMA”) is where most of the demand will come from.
The area determination is based on data gathered in the Small Area Data Case
Study that can be found on the FHFC website. The study indicated that most
affordable projects receive about 2/3 to 3/4 of their tenants from within 10
miles. The Competitive Market Area (“CMA”) is defined as those projects lying
in closest proximity to the Development that are competitive with the
Development property. In large markets, numerous competitive properties can
be found in proximity (within two to three‐mile rings) of the Development. In
smaller markets, the CMA may expand beyond the PMA to capture sufficient
projects.
The like‐kind, existing, stabilized properties within the Development’s
Competitive Market Area (CMA), or submarket, for the purpose of determining
a like‐kind inventory of competitive units, consists of six properties with a total
of 646 units.
There are currently an adequate number of elderly households within the
income band necessary to support demand for the Development’s units, with
a maximum Level of Effort of 20.8% in the 10‐mile ring, but lower at 13.0% in
the five‐mile ring and 7.5% in the 10‐mile ring (Primary Market Area). The Level
of Effort is relatively low due to the size of the existing and funded supply in
relation to the size of the age and income qualified renter households in the
market. Household growth of age and income‐qualified renter households in
the Development’s 10‐mile ring is expected to increase by 165 households
annually over the next five years. Annual growth greater than the project size
is a positive demographic factor. The Capture Rates are low at 7.5%, 2.8% and
0.6% in the three, five and 10‐mile market areas, respectively. A Capture Rate
of 10% or less in the three‐mile ring is a typical developer’s benchmark that a
project is appropriately sized for the market. Based on this analysis, it appears
the size of the Development project is appropriately sized, relative to the
number of the age and income‐qualified renter households in the market.
MHRB and SURTAX UNDERWRITING REPORT AMERINAT
VISTA BREEZE PAGE C‐4
November 9, 2023
The Capture Rates are low at 1.9%, 0.7% and 0.2% in the three, five and 10‐mile
market areas, respectively, for the units at the 80% AMI levels which is
considered very low. Household growth of age and income qualified renter
households in the 80% AMI bands, in the Development's 10‐mile ring is
expected to increase by 326 households annually over the next five years.
Based on the above data and Meridian’s knowledge of the demographics of the
area, the Development’s unit mix is considered good for an elderly project. The
Development's average studio (411 square feet) unit size is within the range of
the market rate comparables and below the one restricted comparable that has
a studio unit contains 538 square feet. Overall, the Development will have small
units compared to the restricted and market rate comparables. The proposed
Vista Breeze affordable apartment project for the elderly will consist of 119
affordable apartment units contained within two, four‐story buildings with
structured parking. The Development will be Class B, mid‐rise apartment
complex with competitive project amenities, unit features, unit sizes and unit
mix in good condition after completion.
With respect to the Development’s impact on existing housing stock, short‐
term is defined as the period it takes the Development to lease to stabilized
occupancy. In the short‐term (defined as the period it takes the Development
to lease to stabilized), there would be a moderate case for impact to the
properties located within three miles of the Development due to the strength
of the market overall and the distance between the Development and these
projects. There are no existing elderly projects located within three miles of the
Development. There is a weak case for overall short‐term impact on all of the
projects in the CMA. Any impact beyond the Development’s lease‐up would be
considered long‐term. Since the Miami‐Dade economy and apartment market
are expected to perform well over the long‐term, there would be a weak case
for long‐term impact to all of the properties located near the Development.
There are no Guarantee Fund projects located within the CMA or within five
miles of the Development or within 10‐miles of the Development.
Based on the absorption history within other affordable and market rate
projects, Meridian estimated an average absorption rate for the Development
property of 38 units per month, which equates to an approximate three month

by Hydrologic Associates U.S.A., Inc. (“HA”) and their assessments were
compiled in reports dated December 6, 2021. The purpose of the ESA’s was to
assist the client in developing information to identify recognized environmental
conditions (“REC”) in connection with the sites as reflected by the scope of the
reports. Based on the information contained in the Phase I ESA reports and
information reviewed in preparing the reports, HA did not identify RECs and, as
such, no additional investigation is warranted at this time.

Soils Test Report: NV5, Inc. (“NV5”) completed a geotechnical exploration of the sites and
compiled their findings in a report dated as of January 19, 2022. The purpose
was to explore the general subsurface condition at the sites, interpret and
review the subsurface conditions with respect to the proposed construction,
and provide geotechnical recommendations for foundation design, pavement
design, and other site preparation.
NV5 explored the subsurface conditions at the sites with 10 engineering test
borings, five (5) borings at each site, drilled to depths of approximately 35 feet
below existing grade. The borings were drilled with a truck‐mounted drill rig
utilizing the rotary wash method. Samples of the subsurface materials were
recovered continuously within the upper 10 feet of the ground surface and at
approximately 5‐foot intervals thereafter using a Standard Penetration Test
split‐spoon sampler (“SPT”) in substantial accordance with ASTM D‐1586,
"Standard Test Method for Standard Penetration Test and Split‐Barrel Sampling
of Soils." This test procedure drives a 1.4‐inch‐inner‐diameter split‐tube
sampler into the subsurface using a 140‐pound hammer falling 30 inches. The
total number of blows required to drive the sampler the second and third 6‐
inch increments is the SPT N‐value, in blows per foot, and is an indication of
material strength. Upon completion of the borings, the boreholes were
backfilled with soil cuttings and the upper few feet closed with cement grout.
The soil/rock samples recovered from the borings were initially classified in the
field and later reexamined by a geotechnical engineer in the laboratory to
confirm field classifications. Visual soil classifications were made in accordance
with ASTM D2487 and ASTM D2488.
Groundwater was encountered in the borings between 2.8 and 3 feet below
the existing ground surface. It should be noted that groundwater readings
during drilling might not represent stabilized groundwater levels. Stabilized
water levels would be best obtained by installing groundwater monitoring
devices and taking readings over an extended period.
Overall, the report provides recommendations based on the testing and
analysis performed for site preparation and related construction. GLE
confirmed that the detailed recommendations outlined were consistent with
the information in the structural and civil engineering drawings.
Plan & Cost Review: A PCR was engaged by AmeriNat and performed by GLE. GLE summarized their
findings, conclusions and recommendations in a report dated July 12, 2023. GLE
concludes the Development’s design is in general conformance with 2020
Florida Building Code (Seventh Edition), NFPA 13 (2019 Elevator Safety Act
(Chapter 399), FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction
(2020 Edition), Code of Metropolitan Dade County Florida (Chapter 33 – Zoning

of 1990 as implemented by 28 CFR 35, incorporating the most recent
amendments, regulations, and rules, as applicable.
GLE reviewed a construction schedule that indicates the Development’s
substantial completion in 422 days. The Construction Contract indicates
substantial completion 429 days from the date of commencement. GLE
concludes the duration appears to be appropriate and all milestones associated
with major trades appear satisfactory.
The review concludes that overall costs to construct are sufficient for
satisfactory completion of the proposed development. The costs for similar
type developments identified in the PCR range from $201,651 per unit to
$294,295 per unit. The Development has a projected unit cost of $270,938.10
per unit, which is within the range provided.
GLE did not identify any allowances in the Construction Contract. Please note
that the Construction Contract does contain language wherein actual
documented increases in the costs of concrete and rebar only up to a maximum
of 15% of their respective original amounts will be allowed.
GLE finds the drawings and specifications for the entire project to be
satisfactory and generally defines all aspects of construction details required
for successful completion of the improvements.
Features & Amenities: The Applicant committed to provide certain Features and Amenities in
accordance with the Application (listed in Exhibit 2 of this report). The PCR
confirms the features and amenities to be constructed at the Development are
in accordance with the representations made in the Application.
ADA Accessibility
Review: An ADA Accessibility Review was performed by GLE as part of the Plan & Cost
Review engagement with AmeriNat. Executed Florida Housing Fair Housing,
Section 504 and ADA Design Certification Forms 121, 126, and 128 certifying
that the plans for the Development comply with these requirements have been
received.
Site Inspection: A site inspection was performed by AmeriNat on May 19, 2023. AmeriNat
observed that the Development’s location; To the north is single family
residential, to the south is multifamily development, to the east is multifamily
development and to the west is a church. The location of the site is central to
neighborhood shopping, employment, and healthcare facilities.
