I thought rent was still due, and that she would apply for FEMA assistance to pay for her costs of hotels during the evacuation (if she even had any / she might’ve stayed with a friend for all I know).  

If you can get a 4 unit and a basement, that would be ideal and create major cash flow and equity creation, plus you can not worry about a property manager and boost your yield.Cap rates came all the way down to 3% (or below!)

As a broker I advise my borrowers who need down payment assistance to form partnerships with a partner who can supply the capital.

If you invest in a property where a payout is anticipated at the end, you could bring in an experienced flipper/contractor as a partner to assist with the estimating process.
