Can any one provide a little assistance with this subject?

If you have a passion for REI but looking for a weekly pay check, look through your job section to see if anyone is hiring RE assistants.

Real estate would create a steady stream of funds to assist with this and various other future projects.

While I'm aware of the negatives, the positives are worth it: First, it's much easier to find a $350 renter than a $1350 renter, and second, most of the renters are on assistance from city, which helps place people there already.

Banks can not assist in underwriting a private loan, for that very reason and they are not a party to the transaction.

I've recently applied for the First Time homebuyer down payment assistance program with a local city here and had a few questions on how those programs are ran, if anyone is familiar with them.If everything goes through, i will be eligible to receive $25-30K in down payment assistance (as a forgivable second mortgage) to buy a property within that city.

Sounds like the additional $3K is monetary damages in lieu of specific performance.

The New York Times has an interactive feature that lets you compare the monetary aspects.

But in order to be of more assistance, could you elaborate more on what you are looking for?

I now have a Realtor that's going to assist me with my first offer.
