Notice one poster stated California is a tax deed state, true, but the law is on the books that tax liens are possible if a county wants to use them.

My caveat is that there are also folks pitching programs that may not be a good educational investment, so I recommend you leave your credit cards at home.

Their interest would be more in capital preservation and green cards, namely the EB-5 program (google it), that will give temporary to permanent legal status for foreign investors that pony-up 500k to 1mil a pop to invest in any US-based projects.

Asking what "programs" might be available will only get you what hard money lenders are doing or what brokers will be offering, that's not true private money.If your grandmother has a friend willing to lend you money you need to strike your deal with her.

But that is just an assumption, I have no real basis if it is true or not.

That's not necessarily true.

Not true.

Although it's still listed as built in 1955 and I know from seeing it that's not true -- it was just built from the ground up in the last couple months.

Hi Dawn,People are saying many things that are technically true, but no one is really answering you question completely.

If you have other consumer debt -- car, student loan, credit cards, etc. -- they get in line ahead of the mortgage payments.
