Introduction
Nicole Hixon helps equity investors, syndicators and lenders leverage tax credits, including low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs), to finance housing and community development projects throughout the United States.
My focus
I work with clients to structure transactions that qualify for federal LIHTCs, other tax credits and benefits. These transactions typically involve multiple layers of public and private financing, including tax-exempt bonds. I help them resolve issues that may arise during the tax credit compliance period. I conduct the necessary due diligence, identify key issues in the early stages of the deal structuring process and find cost-effective solutions for our clients. I also draft the equity transaction documents crucial for achieving our clients’ business goals.
Looking ahead
With recent tax reform legislation, including new opportunity zones, I anticipate a significant boom in the low-incoming housing tax credit industry. I look forward to helping our clients take advantage of these new opportunities to invigorate communities around the United States.
