Brown was terminated upon her initiation of the smear campaign and lodging her accusations that the system and its participants are a "scam".

Can someone explain to me why participation mortgages are no longer in vogue?

You can qualify for material participation for short term and long term properties.

In return for the City's rehabilitation assistance, participants agree to certain long term (5-20 years) rent and occupancy restrictions which provide for the continued availability of the housing to lower income families at an affordable rent.

Additionally, participating in Section 8 can contribute to your community by providing affordable housing to those in need.

There is an amazing difference in knowledge, skill, and experience between long term agents with whom real estate is their career (life) and the agent whose in real estate because he’s a career SALESMAN selling the hottest thing; you know, the guy who’ll be selling oil well drilling participations next year, and advertising services the year after. 

Chapter Seven of the VA Lender’s Handbook clearly states:“If a property is to be owned by two or more eligible Veterans, it may consist of four family units and one business unit, plus one additional unit for each Veteran participating in the ownership”.

This ruling may be helpful in allowing more alternative lending institutions participating in the housing market.

I take it to mean you have someone willing to invest money into an entity you own as an unsecured note at 5% interest plus a cash flow participation on property you purchase?  

Never once did you see me say that I have participated in this.
