We're worked with similar organizations or placement companies that help tenants in need from various situations (e.g., domestic violence).

Sort of same situation but the home was not in that bad of shape. 

what does your current financial situation look like?

My financial situation is somewhat unique, so I’m sharing the details below in case anyone can provide guidance.1.

I was pleased with how the situation was handled and that you refunded the technology package payment.

fyi, one of my children (also in Indiana) had a very good experience with a VA loan through Veterans United.If you can find a tenant who wants to be rural and have space but doesn't have a down payment or for some other reason doesn't want to buy or can't buy, that person could be an excellent fit for your situation. 

What are lower down payment options for this situation? 

Being on a main road that has bus stops is great too as you're property can still run well without a great parking situation.

I love your first idea, but that won't work for my situation. 

I agree with Nathan for his situation of owning 12 properties, but for someone just getting started I wouldn't suggest getting locked in with the one-time fee.
