Let me know if I can assist you anyway here. 

I'd be interested in trying to structure any plan in such a way that it included paying such a person a fair price for their assistance.  

I am happy to assist them.

If anyone needs any assistance in the Upstate NY area I would be glad to help.

With that being said I am on the hunt to find a mentor who can invest some knowledge and skills in exchange for  a FREE secretary, assistance, rehab assistance, handy-girl whatever needs to get done  at this point in your career you need help for FREE.  

I currently work in the construction industry (looking at finance positions after graduation) as a assistant project manager for a developer working on a mixed-use podium project in West L.A.  

It must be owner occupied and not own any other properties at the time of purchase. for 1st time home buyers, we have down payment assistance programs that allow a buyer get ZERO interest loans for the down payment and also for closing costs.

@Scott T.Having a motto: "I am an Affordable Housing Provider" to assist renters buy "on terms" I think is a great USP. 

The outlying areas of Portland provide a bit more value, let me know if you need assistance up here and I'll see what I can do.

There are programs available with down payment assistance.
