Based on an inspection report on one of the deals I worked on last year, I was able to negotiate over $15k of credits and repairs for a $200k house using a $400 inspection report for one of my clients.

Each area has its own rules on how it works, but basically, you buy the house, pay a deposit and agree to rehab the house within a certain amount of time.

I am self employed but want to build a spec home using the equity in my house as collateral.

I have started my investing by doing a bit of house-hacking, renting out my basement, but I am ready to get that first property.

Their advantages include house hacking which includes better finance options and hustle.My last purchase was so large cash negative that the rents were $3k less than PITI.  

Shoot me a DM if you want some help with finding a condo or house with a low rate that's on market.

I found houses that had not been well kept up.

They want to secure housing before they arrive.

Purchasing a property for your child while they attend college can be a strategic investment and a great way to provide them with stable housing.

Low cost housing is a huge motivator to change behavior and keep their housing voucher.
