We offer comprehensive services to our affordable housing clients including forming and structuring relationships to accomplish affordable housing transactions and identifying, negotiating, and closing the most advantageous equity, grant, and construction-to-permanent debt financing options.
To ensure our clients get the best deals possible, we meticulously analyze the numbers and returns behind each deal.
