Financing SFR with Section 8 Tenant - Special Financing Available?

[Dallas Rapoport]

I am considering the purchase of an SFR that is currently leased to a section 8 tenant and was wondering if there were any specific lenders or programs that I should be looking into for financing beyond traditional methods?

Any insight is greatly appreciated, thanks!

@Dallas Rapoport I am not aware of any financing specifically for your situation. My guess is it does not exist in the private financial markets.  

There may be programs that city, county or State governments have to support low income housing. These may not be well pucblicized so you may have to make a lot of calls to find out if anything exists.
