Harnessing 45L and LIHTCs for Real Estate Investment

August 29, 2023

Unlock the potential of real estate investing with insights into the 45L Energy-Efficient Home Tax Credit and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit.

Real estate investors need to stay informed about tax credits to maximize returns, with a focus on the 45L Energy-Efficient Home Tax Credit and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC); these programs reward energy-efficient residential construction and affordable housing development, respectively, and understanding their requirements and updates is essential for maximizing financial benefits. The 45L credit, recently enhanced by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, offers up to $5,000 per unit for energy-efficient properties and can be combined with LIHTCs without decreasing their value. To qualify, properties must have ENERGY STAR and Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) certifications, with the latter being more valuable. The LIHTC incentivizes affordable housing by offering tax credits to developers for providing housing to low-income residents, thereby contributing to community development. Combining the 45L and LIHTC credits can lead to significant financial advantages and appeal to investors, enhancing return on investment and project feasibility. Navigating the complexities of these tax credits requires expertise, and Engineered Tax Services (ETS) offers specialized guidance, assisting developers and investors in maximizing the benefits of these incentives for profitable projects. By leveraging ETS's experience, developers and investors can optimize their real estate endeavors while contributing to economic growth and community welfare. For more information click the link!
