These options will provide around 1.5x of LTR (long term rental) rates.

I hope this provides some insight for you.

The FHA loan I used required 1 year but the down payment assistance program I was on required 3 years to be “forgivable” with each year knocking off 1/3 of what they provided - so pretty much, each year living in the property, out of the minimum of 3 years, 1/3 of the total amount they gave me for the down payment and closing costs, was “forgiven” / not needing to pay back. 

However, our current situation is a bit unique and has a human aspect we can't overlook.The potential tenants in question are in immediate need of housing, and we have the opportunity to provide them with a safe and comfortable place to live.
