@Glenn BanksIf you are correct he states you can do -0-% interest payback, you are creating a bogus loan, imputed interest, and an easy wall to defeat in any court of law.

I also have never heard of only being allowed to bid once, it sounds like it defeats the purpose of an auction.

The best lists are generated by you via research ... the whole idea of finding off market deals is to eliminate your competition, so if everyone is already mailing or knocking on those same doors it defeats the purpose.

I don't know anybody I can trust to work by the hour for me without me standing there with them-which would defeat the purpose.I can flip this thing for 6000 now and try to find another deal while I look on weekends and evenings competing against full time investors (its taken me a year to find this one), or I can maximize this deal and make 3600 a year (using 50% rule) on it every year forever or until I decide to flip it for 6000....or more.The fact that there is no mortgage is a huge plus for me to hold the property.
