Would love any assistance.

Looks like there is one program that has not closed yet in Ohio, maybe not the right county, but I would call anyway, they typically know who else could help.https://nlihc.org/rental-assistance?

Keep one mailing address and opt to receive digital notice to one same email account that you monitor.

Our team at Rent to Retirement has been helping investors with this for over a decade, and we’re here to assist you too.

There's also plenty of existing assistance out there, from 3.5% FHA homebuyer programs to Section 8 to SSI/VA disability, etc. 

However, he asked me to sign a one-year Exclusive Right to Represent agreement, as presented to him by his brokerage.His interpretation is that it applies only when he materially assists me, but I think the boilerplate brokerage language he was given reads much more broadly:"If during the term of this Agreement Buyer enters into a contract for the purchase of Property through the services or efforts of the Broker or Buyer’s Brokerage Firm, or by or through any other persons during the term of this Agreement" (emphasis mine).My concern is that, under my interpretation, if a fellow real estate investor wants to unload a property or if I get pointed to an opportunity by a former agent, colleague, or friend, this agreement could create an obstacle to moving forward with the deal.In the end, I didn’t sign.

Hiring an architect to assist you costs a few hundreds of EURs and they will check that the property is legal, they will take the right measures (in the end you often buying per m2) and guide you along the process.

I'd be happy to assist with the financing portion (if you are considering here in HI).

@Chris Seveney @Jay Hinrichs can either of you two assist me in removing the above post with my phone number listed?
