I keep reading forums/articles here on bigger pockets explaining how to purchase a property with no money down but I really can't find an in depth step by step explanation. 

I've included a picture but since you can't see the three brick sides it doesn't quite convey the depth of the weirdness.  

wow thankyou so much for the in depth reply Scott, I've written the quote down and set it as my wallpaper on my phone so it's the first thing I see every day to keep me motivated, I've also just grabbed myself a copy of the intelligent investor (warren buffets most highly recommended books) I hope to learn a lot in the near future...JT.R, yes I intend on going to university to do a bachelors degree in either economics or commerce (accounting major) after I graduate from high school...

I know my limits though and am not one to get too far out of my depth.

PM me if you are interested in a more in-depth discussion.Good luck!

What I lack at the moment in depth of understanding I *hope* to make up for with ambition.

There was actually just an  in depth thread on it that discussed tax cases as well and ultimately even when other expenses were allowed as "start up" - education to go into a new career field is disallowed. 

I would be happy to speak with you in more depth if you are interested in learning more about these self-directed accounts.

I'm sure most our in depth conversations would serve me best if they took place at a later date over coffee or something.

You will need to do a more in-depth business analysis as well as understanding your own short and long term goals.
