Are people able to buy a duplex in this neighborhood with some kind of down payment assistance program for very little down and the payments are near your asking price.

We decided to buy up to the bigger 4/3 fixer house in the cornfields, and the leaky pipes (and now 4 kids total!)

My situation is I live in NY and am looking to buy out of state.

Due diligence (what you should evaluate before you buy)?

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

(see photos)would this be worth buying or would you pass?

All offers to buy/sell should be posted in the Real Estate Classifieds.

It is fairly universally known that if you want to buy real estate, you go to the local MLS and/or Zillow.  

1) 900 out of 1000 commercial listing agents, and commercial real estate sellers, will throw it in the trash as soon as they see "0% down residential mortgage of the VA variety on commercial real estate" without even responding to your offer or giving your agent a courtesy call. 

If you transfer post-close, you may violate the "due on sale clause in the mortgage docs," allowing the lender to call your loan due.
