In the past, one of the primary ways private companies raised funds for real estate investing was through Rule 506 of Regulation D.

You do have to honor the lease...and the government is on their side. 

State/County Parameters - Pro Investors State laws, positive immigration & growth, county regulations, POS and Property Taxes, etc.3.

Section 8 is a good alternative as most of the check comes from the government.

It is true, even after all this work, you only make what you keep (and the QC government is not soft on taxes).

With Government Debt on an all time high, eventual hyperinflation etc. it doesn't look good for the next 5 years.

If your are a lessor and your financing is not backed by the government, do we still need to relay this to tenants? 

@Craig Salzer81 Lots - looking to connect to the city water / sewer.Quoted around $170,000 in Michigan - right around what others are saying.The local government wanted to work with us so they were also willing to finance at about a 6% interest.A lot of the cost was tapping - so I found they were also somewhat negotiable since they were just trying to recoup costs that had already been spent.

There were a ton of new regulations in the name of "consumer protection" that exacerbated the lending issues, and made it take much longer than it should have.Lenders may not be as aggressive as they were a few months ago, but if you have a good project and a decent borrower, you can still get your deals done today. 

Government loans have more liberal payment options but still, once the deferment is over, a demand will be made to pay all of the deferred payments.
