When industry knowledge is paired with the right relationships, amazing things can happen.
At Kanawha Realty Advisors, we bring exceptional industry knowledge and experienced individuals to the table to navigate the complicated world of real estate financing, investment, and development. Building on our reputation in due diligence and underwriting for affordable housing investments, Kanawha Realty Advisors offers investors, developers, and financial institutions informed and transparent guidance to create the communities of tomorrow.
Investment
More than 20 years of financing, underwriting and negotiating deals has given us the sharp instincts and institutional knowledge required to navigate the market dynamics of commercial real estate.
Development
Partnerships with Kanawha Realty Advisors can assist clients in navigating the complexities of developing single- and multi-family housing - from financial planning to design and environmental regulations.
Advisement
We've mastered an understanding of the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program to facilitate the financial implications of affordable housing, serving as a partner to investors, developers, and institutions.
Sample Projects
“Companies like ours have a fiduciary responsibility to our investor and developer partners. Affordable housing created by Low-Income Housing Tax Credits is a national industry, with very complex financing structures and substantial government oversight to ensure the communities remain in compliance. Because of this complexity, comprehensive upfront due diligence and analysis is necessary. Mark Slack has exceptional capabilities and a deep understanding of affordable housing. This allows him to objectively analyze a market and perform a high level of due diligence before we formalize the partnership.”
