MLI Select · Affordability Unit Sizer
Size your affordable unit commitment.
Given your target tier, CMA, and unit count, this tool returns how many affordable units you need, the per-unit rent concession, and the total annual NOI impact — plus whether the 20-year commitment bonus unlocks a lower-threshold tier.
New construction thresholds: 10 / 15 / 25% of units.

NOI impact equals the revenue impact assuming no offsetting opex change; use the cash-flow calculator to model the hit to debt service coverage and cash-on-cash.
20-year bonus leverage
Committing 20 years saves approximately 4 units of affordable inventory vs. a shorter commitment at the same target tier (Level 1 with bonus vs. Level 2 without).
