Homes For Heroes is a NATIONWIDE program that rewards ALL HEROES when they buy or sell a house (Military, Fire, Police, EMT, Medical Professionals & Teachers or previously employed).

It is not for everyone, only for those who are either self-employed or own a small business w/o full time employees. 

In there you can get a lot of useful info (employment stats, demographics, trends, market rents, pro forma number etc) that you can use to directly apply to your deal if it's in the same area, or as a guide for items you need to research.

Figure out what strategy you want to employ first and that will guide you where and how you'll want to invest.

If you aren't employed by one of their preferred employers, I believe you need an invite from a local member (family member most likely) to join CCU and SECU, but check with them to make sure my info isn't outdated. 

Because they also verify employment/pay scale plus run background and drug checks on their employees, that simplifies the process for us.

There are other strategies you could employ to get around your issues.
