The only reason I was able to get 5% down was because I was going to be living there and there are special terms and rates for owner occupied.  

Finance is not something you are going to structure, the structures all fall under law, in one way or another, you won't be able to "structure" anything that is not covered by law.Exceptions come into play with partners in a business entity, but you have to find those partners privately or seek legal advice in following exceptions and/or structured methods, such as crowdfunding or special provisions under the SEC Regulations. 

Checking with the departments one by one for each land listing that looks promising seems very inefficient.Regarding costs, i hear build costs of containers vs stick built being similar, but I had wondered if that is taking all aspects into consideration like build time, foundation and site prep requirements, etc. yes, steel cutters and welders are a special trade but the structure can arrive pre-built and potentially just sit on concrete pier foundations if the soil and zoning allows.

@Nick Hedberg, no, I haven't used Turnkey, but I am developing a setup Team to help me with my research and to be ready for me or my sourced Investors to pull the trigger (ie. not turnkey).Companies that specialize in selling Turnkey Properties will often/usually have the required after-market services available through them too - at their (full retail, plus admin fee) prices.

My History: I currently work for a corporation that specializes in Financial Software.  

-Maybe someone who even specializes in multies, any advice help is greatly appreciated!!!

I was nervous about my credit and knew they had a special in-house credit financing. 

You'll need to have the seller (or potentially the lender) pay for it.More details on not allowed fees are here:http://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/purchaseco_lo...As for grants, just in case the disability is such that the home would need modified for physical access etc... the grants fall under Special Housing Adaptation: http://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/adaptedhousin...Hope that helps!

What got me interested in real estate was trying to think of what to do with the supplemental money I was making from a niche affiliate site that I created a year ago, that is making around $2500/mo in totally passive income.
