I  know that there are certain stipulations that come with the grant and I want to use  FHA  loans to keep my down payments low.

You have to talk to the right agent and keep trying, and insist they have an annual program.

You don't run into self-managed sellers as much, because those guys are cash flowing.Also, keep in mind, not all of the properties that are currently for sale would make good rentals.

Keep trying.  

If you need help staying on top of rent payments and keeping records.

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

Therefore, since this loan will end up sitting on the lender's balance sheet, you should be prepared to pay an interest rate that would make sense for that lender to have their money tied up without earning the additional income they would earn from selling their loans at a premium on the secondary market and being able to re-lend and keep flipping the money. 

I'll keep you posted if I hear of any meetups! 

This, of course, is not what the attorney wants, as he wants to reduce the number of creditors at issue so that his client can exit bankruptcy with no debts or keep some assets.   

I told them that it was a better idea that, instead of buying a home first, we can buy an investment property and keep renting after we build some equity, sell it and put the down payment for 2 houses or a duplex and live in one and rent the other one (for me, i could keep renting until we buy a lot of investment properties and then move to one of them), but my family wants to buy a home firts and then the investment property.Can someone give me a light of what is better or the pros and cons.Thank you so much.
