INTRODUCTION
Springfield is the heart of Illinois.
That is what the Long Nine envisioned, Abraham Lincoln among them,
in 1839 when the capital moved to Springfield from Vandalia.
The core of that vision was to create a community that would serve as
a shining beacon of government, commerce and community that would
make Springfield the best capital city in America.
Development has proceeded from that dusty or muddy (depending
on current weather conditions) dot on the prairie landscape, into a
community that has, in many ways, lived up to the Long Nine vision
of a shining capital city.
The coal mining and manufacturing that dominated the better part of
the first 150 years of community history have laid the backbone and
groundwork for the 21st Century Springfield.
Development has proceeded from the 19th Century core to envelop
larger expanses of Sangamon County within the expanded city limits.
A renewed interest in historic preservation and development at the core
of the city; including adaptive re-use of existing 19th and early 20th
Century structures has set the stage for development in the central
city.
The advent of the Mid-Illinois Medical District at Springfield will enable
the community to maximize its potential as a regional health care and
medical research giant in the industry.
Development in other parts of the community will assist the ever
burgeoning population with its needs for goods and services necessary
to sustain a healthy and growing regional economy.
The publication you are now beginning to read will assist you in your
quest to help Springfield develop and thrive.

CHAPTER ONE
PREPARATION
ONE
Motivation
What is the primary goal what makes you want to be part
of the growth of Springfield? Inconveniences? Love of the
community? Are you an amateur historian? Or are you
motivated by making money? Each of these dreams brings
with them sobering realities. An honest self-appraisal is the
foundation for creating a successful project.
ONE

Project Goal
Is the purchase for owner occupancy, resale, condo or
rental. If you plan to occupy the building yourself, this may
well affect your eligibility for: Historic Tax Credits (HTC),
City funding, the legal structure of ownership, and private
lending! The State of Illinois does not have a program to
underwrite HTC for residential projects. You will not be
able to own the building outright, at least until the 5-year
LLC (Limited Liability Company) with your equity partner
ONE
Returns
Prospective investors evaluate projects based on ROI
(return on investment) and ROE (return on equity). Before
we begin, here are two definitions: 1) leveraged is with
debt, and 2) unleveraged is without debt.

C-Corp or S-Corp
A corporation is legally a separate entity from
the individuals who own and operate it. It is the
most complex form of business organization with
shareholders as owners and limited liability in regard
to the corporation. The shareholders elect a board
of directors who in turn elect the president who
operates the business. The corporate limited liability,
however, does not extend to officers, who can be
held personally liable for all unpaid federal taxes,
including withholding taxes for employees. The
distinction between C and S-Corporations pertains
to taxation and the percentage of revenues from
passive income. It is highly recommended that you
consult with an attorney to discuss the advantages,
disadvantages, regulations and requirements of Cand S Corporations.

Equity
Banks will rarely finance 100% of the cost of a project. As
a general rule, banks finance 80% of a project. That means
the remaining 20% must come from funds outside the bank.
Even with gap financing and other programs available,
lenders will typically want some cash equity provided by
the borrower. Banks like to be at 80% of cost or appraisal
value whichever is less. Also, banks may require additional
equity in more risky projects.
THREE
Construction Loan
21
Financing
New condominium projects may be eligible for secondary
market (conventional) mortgage financing. Banks look at
each loan on a case-by-case basis to determine borrower
qualifications. Most banks will consider a one, three or
five-year balloon or Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)
financing in lieu of secondary market eligible loans. Once
the condominium does become eligible, the full array of
ARMs and fixed rate loans (15, 20 or 30-year amortization)
becomes available.
For some residential projects, 30-, 20-, and 15-year fixed
rate loan programs are available as well as ARM programs
(1-, 3-and 5-year). Commercial properties are typically
written over a 15 to 20 year amortization with a balloon and
a rate fixed for 5 years. For more details on commercial
options, see Chapter 6 Bank Programs.
Financial Information
In addition to information on the project, your lender will
want personal financial information on each owner of the
project as each owner will typically be personally obligated
on the debt. Information needed will include a personal
financial statement (banks have these forms) and personal
tax returns for the past 3 years. A credit report is usually

Specific Regulations
Federal Employer Identification Number/FEIN (IRS)
The FEIN is required of all partnerships, limited liability
companies, C-corporations and S-corporations for taxpayer
identification. The state of Illinois accepts the FEIN issued
by the Internal Revenue Service for Illinois tax forms. If
you change from a sole proprietorship to a partnership or
corporation, you must request a new FEIN. To apply, use
form SS-4 Application for Employer Identification Number.
The form is available at the local IRS office or on the Internet
at www.irs.gov/forms. Send the completed form to the
specified IRS office. Sole proprietors can use their Social
Security number as their business taxpayer number.

Building Permits
(City Building Department, City of Springfield, Department
of Building & Zoning
789-2171 Third Floor Municipal
Center West) During the time required for a zoning change,
you will want to contact the City to begin the review
process for a building permit, if required for your project.
To obtain a permit you will most likely need construction
documents (final plans and specifications) prepared by an
Illinois licensed design professional (structural engineer,
professional engineer or architect). These will be required
on remodeling that involves life-safety issues or revisions
to the basic structure and on ALL new construction,
including additions.
A building permit is required for one- and two-family
dwellings and accessory structures of over 120 square feet.
This permit must be obtained before beginning construction,
alterations or repairs, other than ordinary repairs that are
nonstructural and do not involve replacement of mechanical,
plumbing or electrical systems. Construction documents
prepared by a professional are not required. However, a
site plan (drawn to scale) is required.
For commercial, industrial and multi-family construction,
a permit must be obtained before beginning any of the
following:
Construction of an addition
Demolition or moving of a structure
Change of occupancy classification
Installation/alteration of any equipment that is regulated
by the codes.
Construction documents, prepared, sealed, signed and
dated (current date and date of license expiration) by a
design professional licensed in Illinois are required.
Plans are reviewed by the City Building Department, the
Zoning Section, the Fire Safety Division and the Public
Works Department. Allow a minimum of three weeks for
all plan reviews. If the plans are in compliance with city
codes and ordinances, a building permit will be issued and

Enterprise Zone
The Springfield Enterprise Zone was established to
encourage job creation and capital investment in areas
of economic distress and to promote neighborhood
revitalization in targeted areas.
The Enterprise Zone Sales Tax Exemption on building
materials allows materials to be purchased within the State
of Illinois free of city and state sales tax. The Enterprise
Zone Property Tax Abatement is eligible to qualifying
projects that make improvements to the property that result
in an increased assessed value over $30,000. The citys
portion of the property taxes may be abated on a sliding
scale. (Properties also located in a TIF district are exempt
from the Property Tax Abatement benefit.) Other attractive
incentives to building or rehab within an Enterprise Zone
include State Tax Incentives such as Investment Tax
Credits and Utility Tax Exemptions. For more information,
call the Springfield Office of Planning and Economic
Development at 789-7377.
State Programs
Opportunity Illinois
(State Treasurers Office, (312) 814-8953)
This program provides the borrower with a below-market
rate of interest during the first 5 years of the loan which
reduces debt service costs. The Treasurers office deposits
funds equal to the loan amount into the borrowers bank
and gets a determined rate of interest for its investment.
In turn, the bank loans this money out to the borrower at a
rate that is typically 3% over the rate paid to the Treasurers
Office.

Federal Programs
Small Business Administration 504 Loans
The SBA 504 Loan Program provides long-term subordinated,
fixed-rate financing for major fixed assets having at least
ten years of useful life. The program is used for owner
occupied properties. Investment properties are typically
not eligible. These loans are to be used by eligible small
businesses to fund up to 40% of the cost of the land and
buildings, machinery and equipment, and renovation
expenses. Business owner must invest at least 10% equity
into the project (a startup or a single purpose building
requires additional equity) and a bank funds the remaining
50% of the project. Terms are 20 years for buildings. The
statewide CDC for SBA 504 loans is the Small Business
Growth Corporation. They are located in Springfield and
can be reached at 787-7557.

Bank Programs
Programs vary from lender to lender. Some banks have

government financing. To effectively comparison shop for

MARKETING & PR
Celebrate!
You have been talking about this project for weeks, maybe
months. All your friends and family have heard some of the
war stories more than once. Why do you need to market
the project? And how do you do it, lacking a big budget or
any prior experience?
EIGHT
When you approach a bank for a loan, apply for Historic Tax
Credits, or make an appeal for City funds, you are marketing
the project. When you meet with an existing commercial
tenant to discuss your plans and the impact on their existing
business, you are also marketing your project. When you hire
professionals to assist with the work, you are promoting your
plans. When you advertise in the newspaper for tenants,
you are selling your location. While each approach includes
different information and requires a distinct approach, they
all share elements such as details of your plans, goals and
an invitation and attempt to persuade others to join your
project. One key to success in telling your story is to know
the entire history of the building (see Chapter 4). Knowing
the previous owners and tenants may help dispel (or could
amplify) environmental concerns. If you are applying for
Historic Tax Credits, the more you know about the role of
your building in the history of the community, the better your
case. A human-interest or historical approach will propel
local media attention. Once your research is complete,
there are several tools you may want to create to tell your
story and convince others to help:

Enough Already!
Okay, okay we went on longer than we intended. Here
is a chapter for the speed-readers, those of you who read
only Cliff Notes and still aced the tests. These concepts
are so big weve even increased the font to accommodate
the ideas.
1. VISIT THE VETERANS:
They may not be old and
grizzled. Some, like Amy
Hathaway from Shoetopia
or Troy Freeman from
DigItAll Designs, are
under 40. But they have
plenty to share about their
experiences. And what
they have done will provide
the foundation upon which
you will build. (Chapter 1)
2. INVEST IN EXPERTS:
Dont think you can do this
without quality help. And
dont forget: you get what
you pay for! (Chapter 2)
3.
RUN THE NUMBERS: You may be in this for the
love of the downtown, or old buildings, or whatever. But you
need to know how much it will all cost. Will you be upside
down in your project? (Chapters 2 and 3)
4.
GET AN AGREED PRICE: Get a bid, make a deal
and stick to it. This is especially tough with some of the
professionals youll employ, but it is a must with them and
with the construction subs working on the job. Take the
time on contracting bids to allow for value engineering in
the face of big cost over-runs. (Chapters 2 and 7)
TEN
5.
DONT SKIP THE HISTORY LESSON: What you
learn may make your project more saleable for Historic
Tax Credits, marketing to the City (and through them to the
community). And its just darn interesting to know who was
there before you! (Chapter 4)
55
6.
CONNECT THE DOTS: You cant skip the mechanics
of working with the City on a rehab or construction process.
And heres another reason to hire an architect he/she can
help you navigate the murky waters of any bureaucracy.
(Chapter 5)
7.
CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITIES: Do you qualify
for a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan? Historic
Tax Credit? TIF funding? Failing to ask the question can
leave lots of cash on the table in the case of the HTC, up
to 20% of the renovation cost! (Chapter 6)
8.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE: Its easy to
become distracted. Jargon, subs who only respond to repeat
customers, complex financing deals, professional fees,
waiting out government funding any number of things can
drive you to distraction. But dont forget the goal!
9.
WATCH THE CLOCK: Time is money (or something
like that), said the Mad Hatter to Alice. From spiraling
professional fees to skyrocketing construction costs to
delays that escalate your carrying costs on the construction
loan they all add to the bottom line. (Chapter 7)
10.
CELEBRATE: You earned it and dont forget to
include all the folks who helped get you there! (Chapter
8)
