It's a pretty specialized business. I only know about it because I know a couple of developers who built a successful track record in the business. Right before I met them, they split the business, one staying mostly focused in LIHTC and the other branching off into more speculative work.

The one who kept at LIHTC did better when things fell off the cliff, in part because LIHTC funding was boosted to fund 'shovel ready projects'.

Out of curiosity, did you write software for a developer or for a funder like Enterprise?
