Ethan Ostrow serves as underwriter’s counsel, purchaser’s counsel, and issuer’s counsel in tax-exempt and taxable affordable multifamily housing bond and loan transactions across the country. These financings, which include public offerings and private placements of both rated and unrated bonds, often involve loans and mortgage-backed securities issued and/or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and other credit providers, requiring familiarity with complex tax and securities law. Ethan’s experience spans private activity bonds in 4% low-income housing tax credit transactions and 501(c)(3) and essential function bonds under a variety of structures in which he led design and execution, always with the goal of leveraging all available federal, state, and local financing subsidies to promote the expansion and improvement of affordable multifamily housing.
