because from 1999-2010 we want to become ACTIVE investor, so we don't get fooled by guy that's acting smarter than us.Watch these Netflix movie about money, there's Grant Cordone in there LOL

Extensions may be granted for valid reasons, like needing more time to secure financing or complete due diligence.

The original grants were for an 42acre chunk of an 82 acre lot.

I should have also added that the reason I am pulled towards real estate as a wealth generating mechanism (I.e. the appreciation aspect) is that I bought my first house with ~$20K of my own money in Baltimore (supplemented with 6K of grants), bought at the right time and did a little fixing it up, used the proceeds from sale of Baltimore home to get into the lower end of the market in quickly appreciating Seattle.

Should I assume the in-place IHDA loan at acquisition or close with a conventional loan and try to get IHDA loans/grants/credits later if/when I decide to keep affordable?  

Maybe it's a non-profit who wants to turn it into a community garden and somehow got a grant and greased some wheels in the planning office?

Granted that's apples and oranges, because the new homes are larger and all in the suburbs, but as long as you can buy an existing home for half the price per square foot than a new construction home I would be careful with expecting peak appreciation.

Granted nowadays, the rates are moving around and the market is a mess.Some say to shop around.. 

Apparently, if i can show that I pay the utilities, I can show on the application that I occupy the place and they will grant the HELOC.

Of course each level grants you access to different things, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it and if so, was it successful in helping you find funding?
