Most states and just about all counties & cities feature their own incentives that are generally tiered to assorted tax consequences---essentially obviating, or appreciably reducing the impacts of whatever debt's used to purchase and operate real estate benefiting particular demographic occupancies. a few of the lead affinity groups are disabled, elderly, economically disadvantaged, ethnic minority women and home based enterprise operator/owners---along with honorably discharged military veterans. other private charities sponsor trillions of dollars in incentives for parallel use & occupancies. interacting with their funding channels can be tremendously enriching.

A lot more difficult if your dealing with all the sub trades or a GC with no credit.

You can get all the Staples cards and other trade accounts you want.
