That strategy worked last time and I expect that the government and big lenders will go back to it to prevent defaults.One of my sources is saying that they didn't receive as many forbearance and loan mod requests as they expected over the last 6 months.

Would it be better to hire someone to do termite prevention measures or maybe hire a termite inspector annually to keep an eye on things?

However, for your first you'll be putting those people AND YOURSELF in unnecessary and unwise risks by taking their money when you don't yet know what your doing. 

There must be some aspect of the house that is preventing anyone from putting down the amount you’re looking for.

(I think thats fair but not the main point of this post)Now the reason I assume it has not been sold is that it would be classified as a non-conforming property preventing a conventional mortgage.My second issue, capital.

How do I prevent myself from being taken advantage? 

Also there is nothing preventing you from doing a little property rehab while you live there. adding carports, landscaping, storage units, driveways etc.. to boost your property value and gaining equity either to refinance or open a HELOC to fund your next investment.

Is this unnecessary?
