Hi Brittane,Most rental programs will cap at 80% LTV, but with hard money usually it can go up to 90% of purchase price.

Hello,   I believe this program is fairly new, so I don't know if anyone would, but do any MI investors have experience using the "Lead Poisoning Prevention Fund" through an organization Michigan Saves?

Joe These days a lot of local governments have the records online.

You'll for sure get those costs later.If you're looking for a sub $300k market in the SE, I'd pursue college towns with good athletic programs and create small STRs but be ready for the seasonality.

As in real cash backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, however shaky that may seem ;)

.• Then there's a few mentioning loan assistance programs such as FHA, NACA, etc.

To address this, we verify the property owner per government records and use this information to vetimposters.Anything that seems suspicious will lead to us requesting an acceptable Letter of Explanation toaddress.Analyze IncomeMany landlords require a month of paystubs from applicants and just use these to calculate a monthly qualifyingincome.

Bruce, there are many programs out there that will be able to write the entire portfolio. 

Are there programs to look into either state wide (NJ) or nationally that will help with down payment assistance or a construction loan?

The quick good/bad of Section 8:- S8 tenants tend to be rougher on the property (but not always)- Paperwork/inspections/etc. can be burdensome and tough to navigate (especially initially)- People often think FMR rates are guarantee rental rates but that's not the case- Usually the rent isn't 100% subsidized and a lot of people don't realize this- S8 tenants tend to stay a lot longer than cash tenants- Obviously, the guaranteed rent portionOverall, I'm neutral on the program.
