I have had the great pleasure of leading a couple of classes with Amanda Gross – trainer extraordinaire at US Housing Consultants. I feel like I’m the “old guard” watching over the “rising star”. Amanda’s classes are full of necessary information and she has a knack for delivering compliance content in such a way that you will never be bored. If you get a chance, be sure to join her for a LIHTC or HUD training.--- Mary Ross
