You will find that lenders will reach out to you and try to ally alongside you (I know I have received a few emails and phone calls from different lenders trying to offer their services) but few are willing to 'teach' you.

I'm not an loan officer, but I know some banks locally like ORNL Credit Union have offered a 0% down conventional loan product.

Quote from @Alecia Loveless: Something is better than nothing, but I would offer more like $250 or 1/4 of a month's rent.

Most rehab loans offer 85 to 90 percent of the purchase price and 100 percent of the renovation costs.

Yes, it's true that you might be able to find a product you need at a greater discount when a brand like Wayfair or CB2 is having a sale, but I've found that they truly do offer superior discounts at scale, even considering the fee. 

The rest, put you on near-worthless drip campaigns, don't understand calculating the offer price based upon rents - property taxes - insurance - MNT & Vacancy percentages, etc.DM @James Wise to schedule a chat with him!

Many other firms offer the same knowledge at a fraction of the cost because they don't have office overhead or tons of highly paid employees to float.

Never go with one offer. 

I would recommend matching old reservation rates and offering free gifts to secure good reviews and booking momentum. 

My 20 hour course (I used OnCourse) offers some exam prep that I have been going off so far.Thanks in advance
