Capital Issue Newsletter Fall 2011

Home > ... The Capital Issue Archives > Capital Issue Fall 2011

The fall edition of The Capital Issue features three “how-to” articles: one on selecting the right credit-rating agency when funding a capital project with a rated bond issue; the second on guiding nonprofit senior-living providers through negotiating a facility’s sale; and then Steve Kennedy’s tongue-in-cheek advice to community hospitals on playing a winning hand despite the odds. We’re also pleased to present explanations of the newly updated MAP guide to FHA multifamily housing and, in The Nonprofit Minute, the value premium that exists in the U.S. equity market. Please contact us if you have any questions on these topics or would like us to visit in person to explain them.
