Description

Advantage Capital has been financing projects and companies in communities underserved by traditional sources of capital since 1992, helping transform local economies. Our syndication group provides state tax credit equity to help developers finance their new construction, rehabilitation and mixed-use projects. Advantage Capital has syndicated over$2.3B in federal and $2.4B in state tax credits over a more than 30-year history and, in the process, developed deep expertise in efficiently structuring and closing transactions. We are currently active in the following states for state LIHTC: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.

The Role

The Vice President Investor Relations is responsible for originating investor tax equity for the company’s funds.
