LIFT Program & First-Time Home Buyer Program
Hey there BP community!
I'd like to ask a question concerning OPM. I am looking to buy a multi-family home for my first property and live in one of the units while the other 1-3 units are rented. My only problem is... I HAVE NO MONEY! I've done some research and talking with friends and colleagues and it seems as though Houston has these programs that will help a first-time home buyer with financial assistance towards the purchase of the property.
So my question is how do I get my hands on this money?
Thanks BP!

Abraham Bakre I wanted to address "getting started right away." You have started since you're here in BP-land. You can gain a ton of knowledge AND (may I point out) your income will raise or fall to meet your level of knowledge. Let that soak in.
Don't loose the fire... but if you don't have a money to loose ... immerse yourself in learning.
