Deals for Active Duty Military Personnel, Veterans, and Brats

Hey BP, I'd like to start off by saying thank you to all of the active duty and retired military investors on BP. I greatly appreciate your service and admire your commitment to ensuring our safety and way of life. I'm proud to call myself a military brat. My parents met in the military over 30 years ago and retired after 20 years. Mom was a rescue diver and Dad was a drug interdiction chief. We traveled all over creation and met so many great people with diverse backgrounds. I pursued an appointment to the Naval Academy but was disqualified from all service due to a (silly) medical technicality but the military has still had a profound positive impact on my life.  

My parents recently asked me to look into some real estate investment options to supplement their pensions. I saw a sign the other day that advertising 0% down benefits for veterans and active duty military personnel. I was wondering if the BP community knew of any special programs at the federal or state (Massachusetts) level that help members of the military purchase homes. Do those programs extend to investment properties or owner occupied multi-families? If you've taken advantage of one of those programs, I'd love to hear about your experience.
