IMHO, it was all about receiving the same benefits as the hetero community (tax, healthcare, children, etc.) and less to do with two people "loving" each other for the rest of their lives.

So many new real estate investors contact companies like this because they drank the kool-aid that so many of these education companies and real estate schools have sold them and they really believe in the 100% financing scams.

Or we may make our first home a 2-family unit so we can get our feet wet as landlords - we're not sure yet.We've drunk the Dave Ramsay kool-aid so we'd like to do this as un-leveraged as possible - either paying all cash, or using a mortgage but paying it off as quickly as possible before we purchase the next property.We want to spend the next couple years learning as much as we can about real estate, so that we can make some good decisions.

I wonder if there is any way to reach out to the state directly and see what the terms of rent aid actually are?

Like waving some fees for union members or health care workers.Some direct lenders will also use more creative loan packages and keep those in house instead of selling them...Mortgage brokers don't originate loans, they just shop around for you for a fee.

What about health care?

I'm a huge fan of Walgreens/Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-Mart Neighborhood Centers, and well-located Dollar Generals (a cut above Dollar Tree/Family Dollar).

I'm a single wage-earner and have kids going to college soon - we get by ok on what I make now and don't want to screw up any financial aid possibilities we might have. 

The faster you can rip the band aid off the better.
