Are there any first time buyer programs?

Housing Authority only due diligence is to ensure the applicant is qualified for the Section 8 program based on income and family size.

Find out why and if there is a program head you should be in contact with.

I know that's mixing two different programs, but I'm not sure the VA or HUD would care as long as you make the payments.R/David

I am currently in the process of building a team and working with agents to fully understand my local market and 'hot spots' in my area.With the resources (credit, cash, income to debt ratio) i have, I plan to start with a property to occupy and renovate for the mandatory time some programs state to classify as owner occupied, then depending on the market rent or sell in hopes to gain the capital I need to really start my investing career.

If that creates a greater demand for manufactured housing, do you think it would translate to more institutional lending programs for mh given the lack of seller financing?

Thanks @Dion DePaoli a credit union has a program I like for the rental but they may not be the best for the OO.

thanks Mark, Im looking for a loan program too

I think your payment program depends on your tenant.

I think this tends to be the case, unless your area has a rebate program for it.
