New member from Maryland

[Tom Ayd]

Hello to all.  

I have been enjoying the BP content for well over a year now and i thought it was time to introduce myself. For over 10 year I have been a full-time apartment developer and "investor". My company focuses primarily on using the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) program to build new and acquire & rehabilitate aging affordable housing communities in the Mid-Atlantic. I am well versed in HUD, USDA and state agency financing and rental assistance programs.

Currently, i am a general partner of partnerships owning 177 units, but have been involved in the acquisition or development of over 500 units.  I expect to close financing on the acquisition and rehabilitation of over 250 unit in the next 12 months.  Almost all of our holdings are long term holds and involve syndication.  

If any BP members are interested in LIHTC, affordable housing, or multifamily in Maryland or Delaware, I can add value to the conversation.  

I look forward to participating on the forums and continuing to enjoy the BP content.
