If you're open to structure and terms, there might be a loan program for you, but it's going to be navigating to find it. 

FHA type Ohio loan program with a 5% down payment.

It can also be slow to get a tenant in using section 8 programs, since there are more regulatory hurdles to jump through.Other than that you'll find that the payer (mostly NOT the tenant themselves depending on the voucher value) pays on time, every time, no matter what (so far).
