I should have also added that the reason I am pulled towards real estate as a wealth generating mechanism (I.e. the appreciation aspect) is that I bought my first house with ~$20K of my own money in Baltimore (supplemented with 6K of grants), bought at the right time and did a little fixing it up, used the proceeds from sale of Baltimore home to get into the lower end of the market in quickly appreciating Seattle.

There will be a consultation and assessment to determine your business goals, strategies, etc.Research to identify the grants that are most aligned with your goals and strategies.Preparation of documents using a checklist to simplify the process.Application submission.Follow up with you, the client for clear compliance and reporting expectations once a grant has been awarded to you.Here are a few resources for accessing grant funding:Grants.govUSA.gov/GrantsNational Institute of HealthSmall Business Administration - GrantsHave you utilized grants in your real estate portfolio?

I'm giving myself 10 years to be successful at this.Turn key properties are best for me right now, as I'm a provider in a clinic and work 3 nights a week in an ER, so my time/energy is limited.Thank you all for any tips, advise or otherwise!
