He has cultivated relationships with hedge funds to purchase notes, with property preservation companies to assist in the care of the collateral and servicing companies to service the notes and facilitate the work outs.

Sure if you dont have your own 3-5% down payment then yes use DPA if you really want to buy.After going over the pros and cons typically our FTHB'ers or first time home buyers end up getting a gift or bring in their own 1-2% down + 1-3% gift and end up with 3-5% down payment and borrow at regular FHA/conventional rates (avoid the DPA program rates).This is actual experience.

It definitely escalates the situation though, so I'd research the process and carefully consider the option before embarking on it...but if you pursue that route you can likely escrow Dec 1 rent and I'm sure that will get some attention. 

But be careful.

This property can NOT be financed by FHA or a traditional conventional 30-year fixed-rate loan.

I would be very very careful as this is now illegal in multiple states and considered predatory.

Be careful, be very careful......

Since it was going to be my primary home, I used 5% down, conventional financing.How did you add value to the deal?
