(Note: These are non-negotiable requirements) Other Incentive ProgramsSmall Business Improvement Fund: Best thought of as a storefront/small business rehabilitation program, this small grant program ($150,000 for commercial properties and $250,000 for industrial properties) is targeted for smaller renovation projects and can cover anywhere from 30-90% of the cost of remodeling a storefront facade, roof replacement, major systems replacements (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc.) or an individual interior space build-out within a larger building to get it tenant ready.

Would love to hear the experiences of other people if having received any grant funding for acquiring and or rehabilitating real estate property, and how you were able to do that.Best

It's a historic house and I turned it into a multifamily, got the rehabilitation certified by the NPS so I got a bunch of tax credits, and it's been a cash flow cow for the last two years.

There was a lot of junk everywhere but it was currently being rehabilitated before whoever moved out.

I'm particularly interested in exploring the rehabilitation angle for affordable housing, and I'd love to learn more about the creative solutions you've seen implemented.When would be a good time to connect and discuss potential opportunities?

I do see these on the MLS from time to time, where you'll have 4-6 bedroom property getting like $2,500 a month or something crazy because it's some type of boarding or rehabilitation home. 

I too am searching for a leander that take VA Rehabilitation Loan on a duplex.

It would include an exception for new construction and substantial renovation or rehabilitation.

Has anyone had any experience with a Rental Rehabilitation Program when purchasing an investment property?

Construction/rehabilitation timelines rarely go as initially indicated.
