It's not easy to get your first deal done, but as everything in life, it only gets easier as time goes on. 

The alternative is to just pay your mom's rent and let another owner deal with your siblings. 

NOT a big deal, Scrap and paint the windows or better yet just replace them.

But I can't find anything else I can do on the side for income that is self employed, that works.How do people deal with the discouragement?

Personally and this is just my opinion, but I am not a fan of 100% financing as gives you no liquidity and not many options if you needed to exit the deal for some reason. 

I advise you to definitely be careful when dealing with John Jackson .

If you have a lot of doors, any claims you're paying out (again, with your time spent dealing with issues) are generally offset by the premiums you're collecting from doors that don't require any or much attention.The fee structure should be transparent and easy to understand, and it certainly should be on the PMCs radar to avoid "project management" when possible. 

I have 2 private money investors that have enough cash combined to do the deal.

If these are the terms that make your deal work, @Duane A.

Hey Renee,Pros include guaranteed rent payments from the government, a large pool of potential tenants, and potentially lower vacancy rates.
