A local lender has a first-time homebuyer program that offers 0% down with no PMI and $2k towards closing costs with a very competitive rate (6.025% as of 8/19/24).

Thanks  100% go sec 8 or other govt program.

You want to break down your preference in regard to sale price, down payment, program, (SFR/MFH), seasoning is important, and the two R's you want to pay most attention to is the Renovate and Refinance.Most investors make the mistake on the renovate or refinance and sometimes both.You also have to figure out if your buying as a Primary or investment because if you buy as a primary you always refinance before you rent. 

@Gino Barbaro has an excellent education and coaching program.

I actually ended up working with a DFY arbitrage program that finds the right property, negotiates the least terms with the landlord, and even has an interior design department to set up your listing.

I came across a podcast that talked about the NACA program but didn't go into full detail.

I am not a guru or a podcast host, just a resource to help you carry out your plan I am an agent an did their find an agent program too.

This incentive program is reviewed separately from the above grant programs and requires City support to be eligible for the Property class change.

Could someone explain if investing in the Investor-Purchaser Programs such as the SCDC Investor-Purchaser Program is a good idea?
