Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the concept of financial feasibility introduced by the late James Graaskamp. We also review two commonly used techniques in feasibility studies, the front-door analysis, and the back-door analysis. These concepts and techniques will be used in subsequent chapters to assess the impact of location and financial subsidies, such as Low Income Housing Tax Credits and Tax Increment Financing, on the feasibility of an affordable housing development project.

Annual loan constant is defined as the annual payment required to amortize (pay off) $1 of debt, and it depends on the term and interest rate of the loan.

Debt coverage ratio is defined as: net operating income divided by annual debt service. Depending on the type of project, lenders require the debt coverage ratio to be at least 1.15–1.25, meaning the net operating income must be 15–25% more than the annual debt service.
