@Nerton Saintfort All depend on their guidelines. This could be from 2 years-5 years.

 For a reference what a the normal requirements for government grants?

@Nerton Saintfort This is the best way to run a House Hack deal. House hacking is where you buy a 2-4 unit property and live in one unit while renting the others. You should get a nice cash flow if you are able to get any new home/FHA/VA financing. Then you are able to move out 2 years later and rent the unit you were living in or sell the place and use your primary residence tax credit to get $250k/$500k tax free along with a 1031 exchange. There are some certain limits with the tax credit when you rent out the other half but it will still work great. Hope this helps.

 Thanks it help a lot I have a few follow up questions.

1. Could you also apply this to single family home?

2. Do you know any government grants that have a 2 year time period?

@Nerton This is  true you have to live in that property for certain time as per their guidelines. 

 Thank you, what the longest and shortest you would say it requires?

Has anyone use a government grant for there first property?

I been thinking about using a government grant for my first investment. I heard from a podcast that you could use it for your first property,but most of the grants I have researched says you have to pay it back when you move out.
