To me, the FHA loan gives me a better chance at home ownership because of its low down payment, and it's no reserve requirement, in addition to 1st time home buyer perks.If an FHA loan has a down payment of only 3.5%, how do lenders combine that with down payment assistance programs?

Is $500 lot rent, park owned home rent, or combination? 

Or is it some combination of all the above? 

You can get creative with a combination of private money and a seller carryback.  

We use a combination of collateral assignments and a servicing agreement.

A combination of a divorce, his home losing nearly half of its market value, his neighborhood demographics changing (one of his tenants used the house to sell prescription drugs out of) and having to relocate for a better paying job left him stuck with a house he couldn't get rid of. 

You should expect them to go up every year.10% combined for Repairs and CapEx is pretty low.
