What We Do
Four service lines built on practitioner experience — not academic theory. Every engagement is handled directly by the principal.
Project-level advisory from feasibility through placed-in-service. QAP scoring strategy, financial modeling, and application management.
Developer-grade site identification backed by QAP scoring and preliminary feasibility. Not brokerage — strategic intelligence.
Fractional AM sitting between the owner and PM company. Active oversight of performance, financials, compliance, and operations.
Capacity building for nonprofits, CDCs, and housing authorities entering or expanding LIHTC development.
Multi-Region Coverage
Most LIHTC consultants are single-state specialists. We help developers evaluate and compete across regions — identifying the strongest scoring opportunities wherever they are.
We can tell you where your deal scores best before you spend money on predevelopment.
Representative Experience
Anonymized examples of work performed in senior development and asset management roles. Every engagement at Albert Vernon draws from this practitioner experience.
Managed financial structuring, construction oversight, and placed-in-service for a layered-financing acq/rehab transaction. Tax-exempt bonds, 4% LIHTC equity, and state soft debt.
Led application management for competitive 9% allocation. QAP scoring analysis, consultant team coordination, financial exhibits, and community engagement strategy.
PM oversight, financial review, compliance monitoring, and investor reporting for a portfolio of LIHTC properties across multiple states spanning new to aging assets.
Managed construction-to-operations transition including unit acceptance, lease-up strategy, income qualification oversight, and 8609 documentation to the state HFA.

Principal
Dylan Klopp brings 10+ years of hands-on experience in affordable housing development and asset management. Prior to founding Albert Vernon, he served as Senior Development Manager at JES Dev Co and Senior Development Associate at Dominium — two of the largest affordable housing developers in the country.
His experience spans the full development lifecycle: site sourcing, underwriting, tax credit applications, debt and equity closings, construction oversight, lease-up, and long-term asset management. He has closed 4% and 9% LIHTC transactions across the Midwest, Southeast, and Texas, with additional pursuit and site-control experience in adjacent markets.
Klopp founded Albert Vernon to provide the kind of advisory support he saw developers, investors, and nonprofits consistently needing — experienced, principal-level capacity without the cost of a full-time hire. Every engagement is handled directly by Klopp, drawing on practitioner experience across the full LIHTC lifecycle.
Klopp is a graduate of Northeastern University and serves as Vice Chairman on the Board of MY Credit Union.
Why Albert Vernon
We've sourced sites, structured deals, closed financings, managed construction, and stabilized assets. That experience shows in our work.
Cross-regional QAP analysis. We know where deals score well and where they don't — before you commit capital to predevelopment.
Development and asset management experience means problems get caught earlier and solved faster. Most advisors know only one side.
No junior analysts. No handoffs. Senior-level capacity on every engagement, handled directly by the founder.
Common Questions
We work with LIHTC developers (small to mid-size, out-of-state, and those at application caps), passive investors and syndicators who need portfolio oversight, and nonprofits and CDCs building development capacity. Our clients share a common need: experienced, principal-level LIHTC expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Three things set us apart: (1) practitioner experience — our principal has actually closed deals, not just advised on them; (2) multi-region QAP expertise, so we can help you compete wherever opportunities are strongest; and (3) direct principal engagement on every project — no junior staff, no handoffs.
Our active focus is Texas and adjacent markets, with additional QAP and financial-parameter analysis completed across selected Midwest and Southeast markets. We engage where deals score competitively and the underlying fundamentals support long-term performance.
We offer flexible engagement models: flat project fees for defined deliverables (feasibility studies, QAP analysis, financial models), monthly retainers for ongoing support (site sourcing, AM oversight), and phase-based billing for larger engagements like application management. We start with a complimentary introductory call to understand your needs and propose a tailored scope.
Engagements are scoped individually based on need, complexity, and timeline. After an initial conversation, we provide a clear fee proposal — whether that's a flat project fee, monthly retainer, or phased structure — before any work begins. There are no surprise costs, and the introductory call is complimentary.
Albert Vernon's primary focus is advisory services. Our principal has extensive development experience, which is what makes the advisory work credible and practical. If a consulting relationship evolves into a co-development opportunity, we address conflicts transparently — including right-of-first-refusal provisions and geographic separation where appropriate.
