The difference is having choices and sometimes if you are a FTHB there are programs and grants that not every bank can/do offer.

Our seller received an Order granting the MFR in the summer of 2018.

The prior owner had been on a limited income and the local grants department had spent about $20,000 in improvements over the last 5 years.

Do I proceed with my bank to see what I qualify for, or do I seek out programs like “Teacher Next Door”, which claims to specialize in getting grants and low rates for teachers?

I watch a lot of Grant Cardone he is someone I study a lot and would like to ask anyone here what’s the best route to take to get started in investing ?

She will also receive a first-time homebuyer downpayment assistance grant. 

Undoubtedly, when a sponsor has been syndicating for decades, of course (the Grant Cardones of the game), then they won't need to have capital raisers because they probably have a deep network of Private Equity money, single-check high net worth Investors, and/or Institutional capital connections. 

You can also get extensions granted for delaying the listing to give time to owner and agents to stage the property, get pictures taken and prepare the listing.  

Time, growth, and understanding (and SACRIFICE) will result in earning what you want and you behave differently with has been granted to you.

*There are down payment assistance for high income earners and 1st time homebuyers and grants but some regulations.
