HUD Secretary Ben Carson Bags Slight Profit on Virginia Home
Jeff Vasishta The man responsible for America’s housing needs recently sold one of his own homes. Ben Carson, brain surgeon and one-time presidential candidate turned Housing and Urban Development secretary, unloaded a house in Vienna, Va., for $1.35 million in March.Carson didn’t own the property long — he bought it in January 2017 for $1.22 million, a month after being nominated for his HUD position by President Donald Trump; with an election cycle coming up this fall, Realtor.com speculates that the move might be a prescient one.
