LEAN Programs for Healthcare
With more than 30 years of hands-on experience, SMF understands every aspect of FHA-insured LEAN programs and underwriting requirements.
LEAN, inaugurated in 2009, has brought significant improvements to the delivery of FHA-insured financing. It has established a uniform application template, standard underwriting and review protocols, and centralized policy and program development. These changes have transformed FHA mortgage insurance from the “financing of last resort” to an attractive, highly competitive program.
Whether you’re looking to construct, rehabilitate, refinance, acquire, expand, or renovate, we’ll help you find the FHA program to make it happen.
