They are the governing board for Property Management companies.

I keep hearing the market will be tipping soonish since the government plans on raising interest rates even higher in an attempt to even out the market. 

A "conventional" loan is one governed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (if you recognize those names). 

Hi BP,I'm about to close on a duplex in Rochester, NY and was wondering if the community was aware of any government programs to make the duplex more energy efficient.  

:)    I should have also explained the context i'm in (Shanghai, China) where projects of your size are not difficult to get due to effort or mindeset, government regulation simply wouldnt allow me to buy. 

My fear is their governments don't have the vision.

As long as you are permitted to divide the land into the parcels sized as you imagine you won't have any problems.As a clever strategy if you are permitted by your local government to divide the land, locate a builder and ask him to partner in new construction. 

I would like to have a discussion with you in regards to what your goals are in the Multifamily sector.

Commercial lending is not as highly subsidized by the government (unlike residential).

By day I work in the oil and gas sector as an accountant, but I'm looking to increase my knowledge related to real estate and hopefully invest in some buy and hold multi-family units for some additional long-term cash flow.
