Why not review resources at the NYC Housing authority or SONYMA at the state level?

New down payment assistance program coming in March! Talk to (several) lenders and get the scoop. Don't quote me on this, but I think it's something like 4% in Tucson and Pima counties for first-time home buyers - FHA USDA VA - 640 FICO. Again, talk to a lender for your area, I'm in real estate, not lending ;-)

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer from PwC. The joining date that I had agreed from my side was 2 June. But I don't know that even in probation the NP is 90 days (it was mentioned in the release doc as 1 month but I didn't take that screenshot as proof). I told the whole issue to my recruiter and she sent a confirmation mail stating that she will revise my joining date by 90 days without issue. Is there any chance they can revoke the offer? I have put down my papers already.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping).

Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
