Government Grants
I am starting out with a Duplex. It needs some minor and some major renovations. My father is current owner, so as soon as I nail down financing, the whole process should be very smooth. My father has owned it for 10 years now. He really didn't know what he was doing. I feel like I have more potential because I'll be starting at a much younger age, and I have Bigger Pockets!
I've looked at a few different options of financing, but for the purpose of this post I'll get straight to the point. I entered some contact information on the following website, but backed out before paying for it because I thought it was a scam. A few days later I got a phone call from a lady that said she worked for the government. She sounded very legitimate. It kind of shifted my outlook and I'm considering this again.
I am just wondering if anyone out there has used this or has any knowledge of it being good or bad.
