I got a sweet deal on a $70,000 house in Birmingham with a tin roof. 

@Kevin Romines  or sweet talking your self into owner financing  :)   in some markets were you have a ton of distressed assets that's not to tough.. but out here on the west coast pretty tough... not that it can't happen.. but usually you pay a premium for seller carry back.. so not sure its worth it in a buy and hold scenario.. one could target hoarder houses and really rough stuff.. get into title use your cash for fix up then refi.but bottom line.. its mainly hyperbole that one can make money in this business with NO money.. its the tag line for all the wholesaler Guru's seller their systems.. but you need money to buy their system.. and you need marketing money etc etc.Its amazing to me how real estate has morphed into this public conscience as a highly leveraged and get rich slowly or quickly idea..you know guys like us we had to work our way up.. !!! 

Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation has a loan program (that shows I am eligible for) called the Home Sweet Texas Home Loan Program which grants 3-5% down payment assistance. 

- Well it looks awesome because there is not a mortgage in sight - sweet right?...

It really is pretty sweet.  

Thanks to those sweet, sweet low interest rates. 

I resigned my job of 7 years and moved from Illinois back to sweet home Alabama. 

I'm sure @James Wise can point out suburbs and secondary markets where he's seeing the sweet spot between higher than avg cash flow & manageability.

Austin- beautiful city, way bad traffic and on the pricier side of business Houston-Hurricanes Dallas-has snow and tornadoes San Antonio is in the sweet spot for weather it includes a pretty big area traffic can be bad on north side.

News flash they are unloading the unprofitable business [low margin, high cost of assets, management and high closing costs on the other side] in favor of the sweet spot selling leads to agents and now that they are full on a brokerage that is the secret weapon they are holding - they are getting lots of traction here and this will be their silver lining.
