There are first-time homebuyer programs that often allow down payments of 3% or 5%.That would mean you could get your $500K property for $25K + closing costs and would have probably about $70K of your downpayment money left.With that, you could buy 2x residencies for approx $150k each in well-performing locations in the country.

What a great program for someone so ready to jump in!

Needs to be setup and programmed for $1,500.

What programs do you have in place to keep residents happy?

Most gurus promote their programs and deliver bad or illegal advice on how to, so be careful depending on your state laws.
