Description

Our Fund Analyst works closely with members of the asset management, syndication, and acquisition teams. This department and team help many of our communities as we are focused on low-income housing (LIHTC). Our investors bring in money to buy properties, which helps tenants who normally cannot afford, customers receive tax credits, and the savings is passed onto investors. No two days are the same on our capital investments team because deals can close any day at any time. If you are looking to launch your career in multi-family capital investments, then apply TODAY!
