Does anybody know of any grants given to property investors where you don’t have to pay back?

I see that there’s a bunch of websites out that do that but you have to pay for the search and are they a legitimate site?

The seller is most definitely not the client.

If your rent would be somewhere closer to 1% of the replacement value, the long term capex picture would look differently, but that's obviously not realistic in the Walker Square area.I know this is not what you want to hear, but case in point at one of our workshops I had an investor who has owned a sizeable D-class portfolio for almost 40 years, self-managed, self-repaired, re-leveraged to pay for capex - and he said he has basically nothing to show for in terms of retirement, so he has to keep working it.Food for thought.

The leases are typically for the tenant to pay maintenance, not for them to cover capital expenditures.

We do not want to be a lender or have our name taken off the title unless they can pay the “due on sale” mortgage. 

Is there any way to avoid paying capital gains tax if I eventually sell?

You have to know how to find and sign properties ahead of getting access to those buyers.You do want to do both at the same time so that when you have your first deal, you know someone, but don't expect anyone to pay attention to you if you don't have 4-5 deals at all times.

If i would have financed it for 15 or 20 years the payment would smaller which would have allowed me to have enough money generated enough money to pay all expenses including taxes

If they offered seller finance to us, those funds could then be used to pay for the lease at our home if we swap however they are retired, what about tenant screening amongst other things, not sure what type of deal structure is best for this scenario but if anyone can guide me with any feedback is greatly appreciated.
