TSP loan gets tricky, if I remember right you have time limits and I think it's 50k max (again there's time limit to when that number resets).In all honesty your best bet is likely finding a below market place to rent, find something with a landlord who's a person vs a company.

@Brian BandasGood intentions, great start.For the particulars, you'll have to try out your marketplace.

It will be easier to get into the current marketplace - almost anywhere - if you have at least 20 or 25% down for conventional financing.

Hello @Stephanie KingsberryYour local REIA meetings and BP meetup should have plenty of people with lenders they can recommend.Also, there is the BP marketplace where lenders advertise.Bob

I believe BP has a pretty active marketplace for deals as well. 

@Ricardo Cristobal Try rent o meter, craigslist, facebook market place for comps.

I will be posting it to the BP marketplace some time today or tomorrow. 

This loan is little known in the marketplace because most loan officers do not offer this loan and most are not investors so they don't look for the little wrinkles in the guidelines.

When you get a return you can put your detective hat on and find relatives if you find out they are deceased or elderly At the end of the day you want to reach your audience when at all possible.

So, Rancho Cordova, Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, West Sac, and all the other cities and unincorporated areas of the county would be unaffected.This seems like it would make a crazy distortion in the rent marketplace with only part of the region having rent control.
