Find one of those for $95k that needs a $25k rehab to be worth $165k and to rent for $1550/mo and you're golden, having both cash flow and value add immediate equity...

Golden 1 will do it but you really need to be around 50% LTV. 

I had my hands on an off market duplex in Golden Valley that I may be able to get a hold of also.

Minneapolis, Golden Valley, and Bloomington are also expected to follow their lead.Also in the works is a law potentially requiring owners give tenants notice 6 months in advance of listing a property for sale and giving them the right of first refusal.Just a couple of things to be aware of, we keep our finger on the pulse of the area to know when those deals may sour in the future.

As for rent, it seems that the rent is in the $2300-2500 range, but there’s a huge luxury apartment building coming up next door, as well as other buildings in the Golden Triangle area coming in.

Even if rents recede, you’re golden.

The fact that you said it would "ruffle feathers" within the family makes it seem like your coming from a very selfish viewpoint as well i.e. you dont care if it makes family drama for her in the golden years of her life because she is not going to be around much longer and in your opinion the family will desolve once she dies and you won't have to deal with it anyway.Im not judging you for wanting a great deal but you should ask yourself what benefit you provide to grandma in this scenareo.

So my question is does anyone in the area have or know someone who is familiar with the Golden State Finance DPA program? 

And @Sharad M. wow this was very golden and informative thanks Sharad!
