When you begin the process of refinancing your property, many banks will clamor for your mortgage – and claim to give you the best deal. Keep in mind that there are many options out there, and each bank will meet your business’s needs differently.

HUD Auditors
Lemler Group specializes in HUD audits to serve clients better.
Since the founding of our CPA firm, affordable housing has been our niche. This focus allows us to serve others with our full attention. Our HUD auditors stay completely up to date with HUD regulations, which means our clients are the first to know when anything about their financial requirements changes.
Our Services
We perform audits, reviews, and compilations for both non-profit and for-profit HUD properties across the country.
Every engagement is unique, so we’ll work with your team to complete the projects and compliance measures you need. These include:
- Tax forms associated with the property and owners (K-1s, state returns, etc.)
- Financial Assessment Subsystem (FASSUB) filing
- SF-SAC filing (not-for-profits only)
- Single Audits (formerly A-133), if applicable
And since we know you don’t want to deal with the consequences of missing the government’s due date, which includes a $27,500 fine, we complete all services by HUD’s 90-day deadline every year.
Timely Service
We don’t file extensions if we don’t have to. This means you get your financial statements on time, every year.
Easy Contact
No more paying for conversations about your audit. We keep in touch with our clients all year long, free of charge.
Few Interruptions
Tired of playing host to auditors for weeks on end? We can work remotely or in-house, whichever you prefer.
“Lemler Group offers great suggestions and helpful hints. We actually look forward to their annual visits.” — Richard, President of HUD Properties
HUD Frequently Asked Questions
I recently acquired my first property with a HUD loan. What do I need to do?
Your first steps should include determining if you need an audit for the current year, choosing an auditor to perform it, and making sure your property management company knows how to handle HUD compliance measures for your new loan.
What happens when you miss HUD’s audit deadline?
HUD requires properties (also called projects) to submit audited financial statements to them within 90 days of their year-end date. If they don’t receive this information, the project may be fined $27,500 and certain accounts may be frozen. The project owner will receive a letter from HUD’s Department of Enforcement (DEC), and if no action is taken, the project could lose the loan and/or rental assistance.
When can I take distributions from the property?
For-profit organizations that receive HUD funding to run their property are allowed to take distributions twice a year — once at year end and once halfway through the year. Not-for-profit properties cannot take distributions, and their surplus cash is deposited into the residual receipts account.
