People want it to be, it's very cool and hip, but really the masses just want nice clean, functional and affordable housing.

Stephen,You can use a Bank Portfolio program to buy a Duplex as an investment and it only requires 15% down.

Maybe try calling your local Housing Assistance Program (HAP) office and asking them about this requirement. 

I later found out that when I declined their protege program, they tried to sell me a "pre-protege" program, which is basically wholesaling for $1k.

This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.

2) Agent calls about fixer-uppers BEFORE they hit the market.Challenge will be getting them at the right price, w/o insulting the agent.If you have the time or funds to hire someone to do it for you, suggest you setup Constant Contact or similar program to send monthly reminders to agents about:1) Your repair services that save deals2) Post 1-3 success stories with quotes from agents you helped - because they all know each other3) That you are looking for fixer-uppers, with some loose buy-box parameters (don't be too restrictive or you won't get deal exposure)You can then add every agent you encounter.It will take 3-6 months, but will eventually snowball if you do good work.

Maybe some specialty programs exist for prefab homes or a custom ADU builder might have his own lender partner they could refer you to... but unless you yourself are an experienced home builder with a track record in ground-up construction, you're basically looking at a hard money or a HELOC.

The roof is functioning, but will kick the can down the road until it needs addressing.

Plus when a tenant leaves you just delete their PIN and program a new one.
