Wondering if there are any gotchas or anything to be aware of when using this program. 

Whether it’s getting the right advice or finding the right program, there’s always a solution to help you make that investment property a reality.What challenges are you facing when it comes to growing your portfolio this year?

Well, the latest "clarification" of the vague memo is that "rental assistance programs" are exempt from the pause - so I am expecting payments to arrive as usual.

Quote from @Jason Wray: Yes, you can use an FHA 203K program or even convert it to Fannie mae and use a renovation loan if the LTC/ARV allows.Cool thanks for the info!  

I imagine this is a similar model to Redfin's associate agent program that pays by hour/tour.

I'm on the hudvash program and have been on it successfully for 16 years.

If there’s physical damage dishwasher goes out 3 times in one year like it has in the program I work at the company pays the first $500 towards repairs or the new one.

Investor pays $2K program fee and 25% of the note acquisition price (they finance the remaining 75% via a participation agreement - at 12%).

I would connect with a local PM who has connections with the HUD programs so you can get the most accurate information and guidance in your market. 

Thanks in advance for your help!
