Special Presentation: Multifamily
Housing -- Why Doesn't Anybody Care?

The new American heroes -- police officers
and firefighters -- are struggling to
find affordable housing. But it appears that
there is no political will for providing federal
funds for new affordable housing production.
A major area of debate for the
Millennial Housing Commission as it readies
its report for Congress is whether any
federal assistance should be provided to
moderate-income families (those making
above 60% of area median income) or
whether all resources should be targeted
to the poorest families. Also, the commission
must decide whether to recommend
a new production program or continue to
rely on low income housing tax credits as
the only production vehicle. Come hear the
lively debate of industry advocates as well
as the political realities faced by the commission
and Congress.

Rating Agency Criteria Demystified

Take this opportunity to discuss with rating
agency representatives their criteria and
concerns pertaining to evaluating mortgage
loans for both new and existing
pools in the CMBS marketplace. Come test
the articulated standards of the agencies
against real, live examples from the world
of mortgage origination.

Mezzanine Real Estate Loans: Filling the
Gap between Senior Loans and Equity

Does mezzanine real estate investment
make sense today? A panel of industry
experts examines the risks and rewards
of this "superior investment vehicle" and
its relevance to today's real estate finance
markets. Mezzanine financing, deal structures,
supply and demand trends, key risks
and rewards, and investment considerations
for institutional investors are among
the topics explored.

The Evolving Effects of Terrorist Attacks
on the Commercial Real Estate Finance
Community

Industry practitioners provide an overview
of the residual impact of the tragic events
of Sept. 11 on the commercial real estate
market. Panelists examine the direct and
indirect effects of the attacks on certain
industry sectors and discuss the resulting
changes to our standard business practices.
Additionally, the impact on capital
markets, insurance availability and coverage
levels, and surveillance are discussed.

Mortgage Bankers Take It
to the Next Dimension

A panel of industry professionals including
mortgage bankers, lenders and borrowers
discusses the value of the mortgage banking
relationship in commercial real estate
finance transactions. The correspondent
system has been a primary business model
over the last three decades. Panelists
examine why this model has been successful
and why it should continue to be
the model of choice going forward. They
discuss how the mortgage banker correspondent
is being affected by changes in
business, such as: greater availability of current
real estate market information; the
diminishing role of life insurance company
lending for portfolio loans; ease of access
to the capital markets through CMBS; and
consolidations of capital sources.

What is the Future of
Healthcare Lending?

As the population ages and as more of
us search for housing that will meet the
needs of our parents or our own retirement
aspirations, lenders are viewing this market
more positively. Industry practitioners talk
about opportunities outside the government-related
entities in providing financing
for assisted living, congregate care,
independent living and skilled nursing
homes. Participants will discuss what's
available now and what will be available
going forward as this market broadens.

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA Get
Creative with Housing for the Elderly

housing for the elderly or those with special
needs is already being implemented at
FHA, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Hear

on innovative projects involving a continuum
of housing and care options. Industry
experts from the three major providers of

ability to be replicated and its applicability
to emerging markets.

Does Technology Matter?

After all the hype and all the flame-outs,
the commercial mortgage industry is still
making loans the same old way and
still accumulating reams of paper. Why
can't we tame this paper tiger, or are
we just immune to technology? Find out
the answers to these and other questions
during this provocative and interactive
session.

and data standards? New technologies

Is FHA Insurance Still a Viable Product?

The FHA new production programs have
been shut down for two years in a row -- in
2000 for over two months and in 2001
for over five months. The mortgage insurance
premium (MIP) has been increased
by 60% on many programs. While the FHA
programs have always been considered
the most attractive from an underwriting
standpoint, can they survive the uncertainties
surrounding their availability and cost?
Hear FHA senior staff discuss the future of
FHA multifamily programs.
