Taken from our Series 22 Top-off Online Guide

2.3.5.2. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit

The low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) has also been in play since 1986. Its purpose is to encourage private investment in low-income housing. Two types of tax credit are available. A 9% tax credit is allotted by the federal government to the states, which the states distribute to qualifying developers through a competitive bidding process. Investments must be in new buildings that are not federally subsidized. A 4% tax credit is available for projects that receive at least 50% of their funding through tax-exempt bond financings. Qualified projects may claim the 4% tax credit without needing an allocation from the state. The LIHTC is discussed in greater detail in Chapter 3.

I passed the series 22! Solomon's study materials and exams were the key to my preparation. I tried other companies first, and I knew something was off. After taking the FINRA exam, I know I would have failed if not for Solomon. I cannot overstate this. This test was difficult and foreign. Solomon helped me learn everything I needed to pass the series 22. Many thanks!

Solomon Exam Prep was great! I passed my Series 22 with their materials. I failed my first time taking the exam using the Securities Institute of America's material. I was completely shocked because I did well in all my practice exams. So, I did extra research and found Solomon Exam Prep. It was exactly like the FINRA outline which was perfect. Highly suggest Solomon Exam Prep for Series 22.

Recently passed my Series 22 using the Solomon material. Failed the exam once previously using The Securities Institute of America material. Solomon gave me the tools in order to succeed and pass my exam. I highly recommend this material!

Recently passed the FINRA Series 22 Exam. Though the exam is short, the material is obscure and not what you deal with every day in the industry. Solomon did a great job of putting together material and providing a deep understanding. After about 6 weeks of studying and taking 2 practice exams a day, I passed the exam on the first try! Thanks for putting together a robust training product.

Very excited to pass the Series 66! The Solomon practice exams were very helpful to understand the concepts and fundamentals of the questions. I would highly recommend Solomon Exam Prep for all FINRA exams. Make sure to have a good grasp on agent registration and suitability when taking the 66. Thank you Solomon!

Solomon Exam Prep materials are head and shoulders above any other company's products. I have purchased several other companies' materials and found that when it came time to take the crucial step of practice exams, every other company's answer explanations simply were too brief to be truly educational, or worse, sometimes contradictory to the text. That is when I turned to Solomon Exam Prep. After purchasing their materials, an actual team member emailed me almost every other day to ask how I was doing with my studying and offered assistance if I had questions. With this kind of support, you aren't trying to climb the mountain of becoming licensed alone! Finally, the owner also contacted me several times to thank me for my purchase and to check on my progress. There is no other company out there doing business in this exemplary way. Please be kind to yourself and START with Solomon Exam Prep materials for the BEST of success!
