About the Interview
In this episode, Jan interviews Dani Evanson from Align Finance Partners. Align provides construction loans that also act as permanent debt financing on affordable housing, which means apartment buildings where rents are well below market rents. These loans generate income that is exempt from Federal income tax and in some cases state income taxes. By selling off a portion of these loans to Wall Street investors, Align aims to generate strong quarterly distributions on its portfolio of real estate loans.
