Their company is pretty great at not responding to their communities people , not following local law yet alone their own lease agreements The uptick of lot rents I get it it’s business but also driving out affordability for people which again it’s a business so some may say that part is just the territory , but not following lease agreements , hiring poor management and then doing nothing about it when it’s escalated is a reflection on their business aswell   best of luck. 

Does anyone know of an affordable second loan to help with the down payment?

You do not actually need any income if they have high enough income to afford their bills plus your new house.

You could probably afford $20,000 without much impact on your budget.

If you are looking for more appreciation and can afford to cover a few hundred dollars a month of negative cash flow then I'd recommend looking at Gilbert.

That is lower than market and puts you in a cashflow-neutral situation, but it is unlikely your residents can afford that.

In Philadelphia the fundamentals are strong: leading industries/employers are in the Education and Medical fields which are known to be stable, proximity to NYC and DC, national airport, port city, affordability compared to mid-atlantic predecessors.

., or Boston, Philadelphia offers relatively affordable rent, or section 8 tenants, especially those who are relocating from more expensive areas. 

In Akron, there are 'A' properties in 'D-' neighborhoods (over by the zoo) where builders build affordable housing.

And let me not forget to mention, it’s MUCH more affordable.
