FHA is for sure not going to be an option for him, last option is purchasing from an investor with owner financing, or lease to own program where he will not need traditional financing. 

i told them to apply to programs that are available to help with electric bill. 

Only caution is if they don’t have checkbook control and there’s a time crunch going through the custodian can cause delays and red tape to deal with.  

Exceptions include delays caused by factors outside the Subcontractor’s control (e.g., weather, material delays).5.

It could be helpful to you (lenders will want to see lease agreements) and it is good for the family member (they actually could do a program where them paying rent increases credit). 

Hey Matt,I am aware of a program that can do that, just shot you a DM

Quote from @Avery Oblepias: I’m needing advice has any one taken the Tom Cruz section 8 program if so was it worth the investment thank you  He's a total dork.

I wouldn’t go there myself… you lose a lot of control, your house will see a lot more traffic / damage.  

Home warranty programs charge a trip fee every time you file a claim, and they use that fee to compensate the vendor.

Also make sure you are comfortable with some holding costs if the units don't get rented right away (if vacant).Also look into if there is rent control in the area that the property is located.
