Down Payment Assistance or Creative Finance

[Thomas O'Donnell]

Hey All, I'm wondering if anyone knows about some down payment assistance programs or anything like it in Ohio. I'm pretty low on cash, however I really want to purchase and house-hack my 2nd MFH this year. I'm hoping to increase my funds later in the year, but I just wanted to know if any of you have information regarding these programs? Or if you have any suggestions on how I can get a 2nd property with very little of my own money (creative finance tips are welcome). I know you do need some of your own money to invest, however I'm looking for ways to barely use any of my own money. I do not have a very high paying job at the moment, and the portion of rent I am paying on my 1st rental (Conventional loan, but house-hacking) is not desirable.
