The extension will be at the discretion of the lender and based on many things in the future.It sounds like you are new to commercial so perhaps go speak to a small community local bank and see what their program is for retail commercial property.

However we are also all about disclosure and don't have any hidden fees , upfront fees, or back end charges.There was a local mentorship program in our area, where experienced investors worked with students.

Does anyone have any programs that work for them?

That said, the current market conditions appear ripe for theses strategies.

For those of you that own in Section 8 type communities- has anyone been successful in converting tenants to this subsidy program?

Pity it doesn't appear to be working out that way.

Those comments by people are crazy.They made their choices that led to losing their homes.Whether it was for paying cable instead of the mortgage,taking a trip,going out to eat constantly,having an expensive car you can't afford etc.There are some exceptions and real hard case stories of course but they are few and far between.These people are just jealous of the wealth this guy has.I am surprised he wanted to be on camera.People might think he is Rich with his yacht business and want to to pay less on the vessels.The people I know that have money keep a very low profile and like to appear like the average person.

Then I started looking in other cities, like Dallas for example, and I see $30K-$60K houses that appear to rent for $800-1200/mo.

I am sure its doable, but somehow I have to make the property appear not as an investment.

It may appear as if they have come back!
