Did you know we offer an online certification course on the HUD Handbook 4350.3: Occupancy Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs?

If you manage a multifamily property with HUD subsidized units, it’s important to be familiar with occupancy requirements.

  • How do you calculate rent?

This online training is for:
