The Project Analyst conducts detailed reviews of property-related documentation, including homeowner association (HOA) financial statements, board documents, insurance policies, litigation records, property inspection reports, and safety and health-related information. Working within established lending requirements, the incumbent evaluates projects against agency, investor, and portfolio guidelines, analyzes supporting documentation, requests additional information when needed, and issues project approval decisions.
