Despite COVID-19, HUD Lean Records Strong 2020 Fiscal Year

This was not another ordinary fiscal year for HUD ended September 30, but the LEAN program still ended with nearly $4.4 billion in closings.

To reach such a high under the current circumstances, with in-person property inspections virtually impossible for months and HUD employees adjusting to working at home like so many of us, took great flexibility and a lot of hard work to get done.   Greystone was head and shoulders atop the list this fiscal year, both in terms of transactions closed and in dollar volume. The firm closed 75 loans totaling more than... Read More »
