congrats on the Naca program I have sold a  handful of my OREO to Naca buyers.. its a great program takes some resolve to go through their initiation process. 

Working with a reputable team can ease the process.

Became a real estate agent after I fell in love with home ownership processes and out of love with my 9-5.

Quote from @Sharma Parth: Quote from @Jacob Sherman: are they selling the rent ready properties or consultants guiding you start to finish in the process  rent ready properties. they will take distressed properties > fix them > get you  section 8 tenant > and also offer management for you Sounds like a no brainer if the  numbers are right .

If you dont need the leases it can be nice because as soon as you get near completion on your rehabbing you can get your disclosures out, esigned, start your appraisal asap, and get the process moving quickly versus waiting around for tenants, lease ups, and all units to be rented.Best of Luck ~

Ultimately buying real estate without down payment funds is far trickier of a process.

I would love to hear from other more experienced in the field about alternative ways to financing that I should consider besides the HELOC, maybe also hear from investors on how the process of bringing investors onboard works.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

If your current deposit already equals one month's rent, you can't request additional funds.Keep the lines of communication open with your tenants, explain the process clearly, and you'll avoid any misunderstandings.Good luck!

She did move in two cats during her tenancy (with my permission after the fact), and the house was left in fairly good condition when she moved out:Most holes were patched (though some in the basement were missed).It was moderately clean but needed extra cleaning due to cat hair in the carpets.Minor issues included:A missing doorbell.Missing shower hardware.One of the window blinds needed replacement.A truck bed full of items left in the shed that I had to haul away.Since I was in a pinch between Christmas and New Year’s, I hired professional cleaners for a quick turnaround.
