Capitalized Value of Rent Differentials — Calculation
* Rent Limit Underwriting: 40% AMI default for all non-Special Needs projects (§10325(g)(3)(A)). Use 40% AMI for ALL OTHERS.
** Contract Rent Underwriting: Net HAP = gross contract rent − utility allowance. For USDA subsidy only, use higher of 60% AMI or committed basic contract rents.

TB Phase Heatmap — Two-Lever Sweet Corner
Colour = TB% against the pool's own award history (red → amber → green). Hatched cells = infeasible (Paid DF below $700,000). Colour tells you whether a cell wins; the numbers rank the cells.

Winning TB in this pool: At-Risk set-aside · 2022-2026 · n=21 across 8 roundsp10 15.0%→p50 26.5%→p90 36.8%· Hatched = Paid DF below floor (infeasible)· Ringed cell = where this deal is now
Colour is absolute against what actually won in this pool, not against this chart, so the same colour means the same thing on any deck's map. The median winner sat at 26.5%. This deck spans 22.2% to 47.3%. An axis marked added sweeps an amount ON TOP OF what this deal already carries, so its zero column is the deal as underwritten today and not a deal without that source.
TB Waveforms — Lever Response Curves
Each waveform: TB% (green) and Paid DF (amber) as the lever sweeps across its range. Red bar shows where Paid DF drops below $700,000 floor. Dashed horizontal lines: historical p10 / p50 / p90 winning TB for the selected set-aside. Dot marks current deal value.
ONE LEVER AT A TIME. Every other lever is frozen at its current value, so these are partial derivatives. Two levers each worth +3pp do not add to +6pp, because moving one changes the base the other works against.
EVERY POINT IS A REAL SOLVE. The engine re-converges the whole deal at each step, so a kink is a constraint starting or stopping binding, not noise. Read the corners.
THE DASHED LINES ARE HISTORY, NOT A TARGET. They are what actually won in this pool. They are not a threshold, and in the thinner pools they are not a floor at all: awards there have cleared below p10.
ADDITIONAL SOFT DEBT AND DONATED LAND SWEEP AN INCREMENT. Their axis is an amount added ON TOP OF what this deal already carries, so the dot always reads zero. Zero there means "as underwritten today", never "this deal has none".
At-Risk set-aside · 2022-2026 · n=21 across 8 rounds Lowest in this window (10.975%). Not an all-time low unless the full window is selected.
Construction Voluntary Excl. % (L36)

Additional Soft Debt (on top of current)
Committed soft loan added to LSR + subordinate mortgages. ~+6pp per $1M.

Donated Land (appraised)

Hard Cost / Unit (rehab)
Higher rehab = more construction basis = more credits, but also larger TDC denominator. TB monotonically drops; DF rises.

Total Purchase Price (negotiated)
Pure TB lever when acq exclusion is 100%: shrinks TDC without touching UEB. ~+6pp TB per $1M PP reduction on a $17M deal.
