Dwight Capital announced that it obtained over $2.42 billion in multifamily and healthcare FHA Firm Commitments during HUD’s 2020 fiscal year. This ranks Dwight Capital #2 among lenders both by dollar volume and number of transactions (139 loans closed).

It will fuel our ability to continue to provide best-in-class HUD financing expertise and client service as we continue to grow.”
