Chester County has a VA in Coatesville and was doing a program with vets that needed apartments.

Was that for a 15 or 30 yr program ... did you go thru forma pre approval process ( providing all your data ) or did you just speak with them ?

So it's more a "requirement" of "the market" than a requirement of the loan program. 

I will continue being active in my community and saving the articles published about this, I have found my name mentioned quite a few times by my local chamber of commerce so being involved with their programs (BendYP, Leadership Bend) seems be a good way generate source material.I also signed up for HARO (Help A Reporter Out) so that I can contribute to articles being written about relevant topics and get my name published that way.

@Alex Vick you should interview at a few places, and find one with the best training program. 

They operate like a broker (lots of outlets, which means more programs than a bank and often lower rates), but they are the direct lender (which makes them a bit easier to work with and more predictable/reliable compared to a broker). 

Very generally speaking, if you're pooling money from investors who don't have any control over the investment (they are just passive investors), that's going to be governed by SEC regulation. 

The lender says the loan program they go through isn't really geared towards people investing but rather purchasing family homes to live in.

East Boston, Mattapan, and Roxbury are all part of a pilot ADU program through the city of Boston which has potential to add upside to an owner occupied deal.

I found very few such programs and would appreciate a lot if anyone could point me to correct direction where could i do the work of finding a buyer for % fee out of total amount of RE being sold.
