AMERICA FIRST MULTIFAMILY INVESTORS, L.P. ANNOUNCES THE SALE OF RESIDENCES OF WEATHERFORD MF PROPERTY

OMAHA, Nebraska -- America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (NASDAQ: ATAX) (the “Partnership”) announced today that on November 15, 2017, it sold Residences of Weatherford (“Weatherford”), a 76-unit property, held in its MF Property portfolio, located in Weatherford, Texas for $7.9 million. ATAX will realize a gross gain of approximately $2.6 million, before income tax expense, direct and indirect expenses to be recognized, in the fourth quarter of 2017.

ATAX originally invested in Weatherford’s Mortgage Revenue Bond (“MRB”) in May 2007. ATAX actively utilized and managed the resources of Burlington Capital’s full service Real Estate Platform (the “Platform”) to transform the demographics and economics of Weatherford. The Platform consists of property management, construction management and monitoring and marketing. In February 2011, the General Partner and Limited Partner of Weatherford were removed through foreclosure and the property then became owned by ATAX as a part of its MF Property portfolio. Construction of Weatherford was completed in April 2012 and ATAX has realized a physical occupancy of 100% and had transformed its economic performance.

“In 2009, ATAX became concerned about the performance of Weatherford and became actively involved in the property management and other aspects of its operations,” said Chad Daffer, Chief Executive Officer of ATAX. “The Weatherford transaction represents the second successful sale of three former MRB investments owned by ATAX that were negatively impacted by the credit crisis and ultimately owned by the Partnership as a part of its MF Property portfolio. Through the use of our Platform we have been able to reposition and exit Weatherford and recognize a gain on its sale. Our Unitholders are, once again, the big winners of this transaction.”

America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. was formed on April 2, 1998 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of acquiring, holding, selling and otherwise dealing with a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for affordable multifamily, student housing and commercial properties. The Partnership is pursuing a business strategy of acquiring additional mortgage revenue bonds and other investments on a leveraged basis. The Partnership expects and believes the interest earned on these

mortgage revenue bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Partnership seeks to achieve its investment growth strategy by investing in additional mortgage revenue bonds and other investments as permitted by the Partnership’s Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, dated September 15, 2015, taking advantage of financing structures available in the securities market, and entering into interest rate risk management instruments.
