Institutional Feasibility Strategy
Proprietary scoring methodology for institutional-grade LIHTC preservation and acquisition-rehab (A/R) identification.
BJS Core Investment Thesis [v4.0]
The BJS Proprietary Ranking moves beyond superficial market growth to prioritize Deal Feasibility. We target properties in the "Critical Window" of their compliance lifecycle, where basis-boost eligibility and local rent-spreads maximize the probability of a successful acquisition-rehab (A/R) exit.
Age of Property
Acquisition Likelihood
Weighting properties in the Year 14–21 window. This marks the transition from initial compliance to investor exit, making these assets the highest probability targets for off-market acquisition.
Market Rent Spread
Financial Upside
Benchmarking tract rent vs. both County and Statewide medians. A significant gap (Tract Rent < 70% of County OR < 75% of State) indicates a strong "safety net" for long-term valuation upside.
Basis Boost (QCT)
Tax Credit Multiplier
Automatic identification of Qualified Census Tracts (QCT) and Difficult Development Areas (DDA). These sites qualify for a 130% basis boost, drastically improving deal feasibility.
Portfolio Scale
Asset Management Efficiency
Rewarding significant scale (Units / 50). Institutional investors prioritize 60+ unit developments to ensure operational overhead is supported by gross revenue.
ROZ Priority
State Strategic Zone
Identifying properties within a Revitalization/Rural Opportunity Zone (ROZ). These assets align with priority state initiatives, providing further funding flexibility.
Dominium Alpha
Strategic Partner Alignment
Properties identified as prime Dominium acquisition targets: 150+ units, Funded 1995 or later, with no recent subsequent credits (unless ≥15 years prior).
🏆 IDEAL Target: 150+ units, Funded/Placed in Service between 2005-2011.
Revised Market Growth Weights
*Population growth is capped at 5 points to prevent submarket anomalies from skewing our core acquisition feasibility metrics.
