I am interested in applying for government grants to invest into multifamily units for government housing.

I would also shop with a local mortgage broker as currently United Wholesale Mortgage is running a 125 bps special on Government refinances through the end of September meaning if you did go FHA streamline then you should be getting a rate of around 5% (borrower paid)4) If you havent asked, at 700K+ loan tell your lender you want to go Borrower Paid and you expect them to only charge a 1% origination charge fee.

We offer a full range of products for conventional, government (FHA) jumbo. 

However we've been hearing a lot about how lucrative Airbnb and 30+ day rentals are, even to businesses/government agencies/etc. so are looking to connect with someone in that space. 

Also, this is a pretty comprehensive book on the subject: https://www.amazon.com/Subsidized-Comprehensive-Government-F...

Mortgage rates declined to their lowest levels in over a year, a sample of more than a dozen industry professionals said they were quoting most borrowers in the high 5% to low 6% range on government loans and in the mid-6% range for conventional mortgages.

So make sure the reasons aren’t protected reasons and be prepared to defend those reasons to the government. 

Maybe they cater to the government and are used to just spending tax payers money with no responsibility. 

In most places some utilities are provided by the local government.

Many buyers will not sign the first form, so buyer agent will have to get fee from seller or seller's agent with no promise of getting that when first adopting the buyer client. who knows how it will shake out over time, but other trust busting verdicts/government actions usually lead to more efficient transactions for the consumers, ie. lower prices of fees.
