Hello,I am looking for information on down payment assistance (grant not a loan) for a property I have an accepted offer on in New Bedford MA, It is a 3 family and I am a first time home buyer.

I've built a small network in Philadelphia, and even made an offer on an apartment building there!

You could offer to pay him more if he gets the work done within a certain day.

I'm finding some great sellers in Orange County who like that option to help with their capital gains liability...you just need an agent who knows how to present that type of offer.  

It works incredibly well for real estate because it offers flexibility, liquidity, and allows you to make your dollars (cash value) more efficient by allowing them to work in two places at once (in the policy itself in participating policies by earning contractually guaranteed interest and dividends as well as in the investment you leverage your cash value for).

I own 2 rental properties, the first one is paid in cash and the second one i have a mortgage on it which i pay 464 in total including tax and insurance, trying to see how much i would qualify using only my rental income while i look for a job once moving there in ilhaving a hard time qualify for a loan since they cant use my job income that i have here in cali, been told that I need to move there first and work at least 1 month and then apply or I need a job offer letter. 

You also have to explore the STR versus LTR in that area to see which may offer a great NOI.If you ever have any specific questions feel free to reach out I enjoy helping and talking REI.

Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance or have any specific questions - would be happy to help!

Using an LLC can offer more legal and safety cover.

We took the first offer that we got, we did not want to take a chance.
