AGM can assist Ownership in evaluating property insurance solutions, including participation in AGM’s Master Insurance Program — a grouped placement structure designed to deliver more efficient coverage and meaningful cost savings relative to standalone policies.
Evaluation
Insurance Solutions Evaluation
AGM assists Ownership in evaluating property insurance solutions, including participation in AGM’s Master Insurance Program.
The program enables eligible assets within the AGM-managed portfolio to be considered for placement within a grouped insurance structure, rather than being separately marketed on a standalone basis
AGM’s Master Insurance Program can support more efficient coverage placement and, in many cases, economies of scale relative to individually placed policies, resulting in meaningful cost savings for the investment
Economies of ScaleEfficient PlacementCost Savings
Conditions
Program Conditions
Availability, pricing, and coverage terms are subject to underwriting review, property eligibility, and carrier approval
Key BenefitShared master insurance policy for eligible properties provides broader coverage capacity and competitive premiums through portfolio scale
AGM’s leasing platform is structured to maximize revenue, support occupancy stability, minimize vacancy loss, and enhance leasing performance through disciplined execution — spanning the full leasing cycle from prospect to resident renewal.
Market Positioning & Research
|Data-Driven Pricing
AGM’s research team tracks concessions across comparable properties to keep subject assets competitive with shifting market conditions. The team analyzes rent roll, vacancies, lease expirations, unit finishes, amenities, location, and other asset-specific factors to right-size rental rates — feeding directly into a renewal strategy centered on tenant retention.

Renewal Strategy & Tenant Retention
|Self-Reinforcing Cycle
Renewals are structured around tenant retention, with an option to upgrade existing tenants into newly renovated units. This enables stagnant units to be turned over and brought up to AGM’s Standard Unit Turn while fresh tenants move into refreshed spaces — a self-reinforcing cycle of reinvestment, improved unit quality, and sustained community value.
Retention
Tenant Upgrade Path
Offer existing tenants the opportunity to move into newly renovated units, preserving good tenancy while freeing up units for improvement
Capital Cycle
AGM Standard Unit Turn
Vacated units are refreshed to AGM Standard, attracting new tenants at market rates and improving overall property quality over time
AGM is experienced in navigating both the Multifamily Tax Exemption (MFTE) and Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA) programs, advising Ownership on eligibility, implementation, and the strategic value of participation.
MFTE
Multifamily Tax Exemption
A Washington State program providing a property tax exemption on the residential improvements of a multifamily development in exchange for reserving a portion of units at affordable rent levels. Qualified properties receive a meaningful reduction in annual property tax liability for a term of 8 or 12 years, varying by jurisdiction.
Washington State Program8 or 12-Year TermAffordable Unit Set-AsideReduced Tax Liability
MHA
Mandatory Housing Affordability
A City of Seattle program requiring new development in certain zones to include affordable units on-site (the performance option) or contribute to the city’s affordable housing fund (the payment option). Compliance unlocks density bonuses and development flexibility in qualifying zones.
City of SeattlePerformance OptionPayment OptionDensity Bonus Access
Applicability
Where & When the Programs Apply
MFTE is available in participating cities across Washington — including Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Renton — with terms varying by jurisdiction. MHA applies within designated zones in the City of Seattle. Both are typically implemented at the time of new development or substantial rehabilitation.
SeattleBellevueKirklandRedmondRenton
Implementation
Application & Ongoing Compliance
Implementation includes confirming eligibility, filing the MFTE application, designating affordable units, executing a restrictive covenant with the city, and managing annual compliance — income certifications and ongoing reporting — alongside standard property operations.
Strategic ValueProperty tax savings, compliance efficiency, and development flexibility — managed within standard property operations
Many properties in AGM’s portfolio carry both residential and commercial components — apartments above retail, restaurant, or office space. Managing these assets effectively requires expertise across both asset classes. For commercial vacancies, AGM applies a market-driven outreach strategy designed to attract tenants who complement the residential community, serve an unmet local need, and are positioned for long-term stability.
