High crime is sort of relative and varies from person to person.

If you don't have the cash and have no way to get it quickly I'd focus on sorting out a payment plan with HUD, if they allow that.

Cons are the liquidity event that your parents will have to do to purchase the home (I assume the funds are in some sort of investment today so there's likely some tax ramifications on cashing those securities).

And commission implies some sort of marketing and sales relationship.

Quote from @Jake Tiffany: Hey everyone, many of you send mailers, texts and all sorts of campaigns to try and find deals.

Im wondering if I will get in some sort of trouble.

It turns out I may have jumped the gun a bit, but thankfully, I managed to sort things out with the 3 girls, and we found a 4th roommate just in time for classes to start.

I got all sorts of calls, usually some were just curious, some were angry, every month someone called the police, the BBB and one time even the FBI on me, because the term "cash offer"" seemed suspicious to them - drug money LOL A place officer called me on behalf of a resident asking me to stop mailing them, to which I replied: sure whats their address and he said: he would not give me that information.. 

I will be making $55-$60/h by the time I’m certified at 21/22.I am also looking into side hustles to increase my income such as flipping cars, reselling etc.As of right now I have around 8k saved, and 5k invested in stocks.Obviously I cannot buy a property with just a few grand right now, but basically I just want to ask for any advice or tips you would give to me or your younger self when you started.I usually listen to audio books on personal finance and business while working instead of music to further my knowledge.Any sort of advice is welcome, books, podcasts, methods to learn about.

@Corey Block You may want to talk to a few companies who do this sort of thing in your area.
