The salvation army has a program that pays all past due rents plus 50% of future rent for 3 months but there has to be a filed eviction for the tenant to receive the funds.

I have access to contractors, hard money lenders that offer rental programs as well as conventional lenders that I work with both personally and professionally. 

Now is the best time to make the change to a program like Tellus!

In addition to being an intercom and "buzz in" entry strike system based on existing phone lines, you can program individual entry codes for each unit.

The best way to start is not to spend your money on a "program".

The cost was the same but going non judicial, we had many more hoops we had to jump through, like the foreclosure dispute resolution program that made it prohibitive.

(Most of the cases while I was reading people have got the minimum 25% down.)You can use FHA or Low-down conventional programs up to a 4-unit property.

This is also taking into consideration, a 25% vacancy factor.Conforming Loan Look UpFor the SuperConforming Program, here is some of the general criteria that must be met:1-4 Unit Primary Residential Property or 1 Unit Second Home95% LTV700 Credit Score Required$3,000,000 max loan amount9 months Reserve RequirementNo Mortgage InsuranceMax DTI 45%

Rental assistance varies from program to program, but based on my experience with Section 8 housing and similar/subsidiary programs I'll share this:  the person typically has a "value" associated with their assistance and the program bases that on the market-rate for each property. 

I have found this first time home buying program called NACA (which would cover closing cost, no down payment) and yes, Multifamily properties are eligible if the owner occupies one of the units.
