@Bill Rich As far as I know, the HID “$100 down” is only on a very small percentage of HUD homes, and is advertised as such.  

     - The agent will do all of the legwork in terms of advertising, showings, processing of applications,                    document signing once you decide on a tenant, making sure utilities are transfered, coordinating move            in, etc.

If so then the buyers will come if you advertise the deal properly. 

This is no different than advertising. 

In a case such as this, the licensee’s real estate knowledge and experience could put the other party at a disadvantage, if that other party was unaware of the licensee’s true status.This rule also applies to those licensees who advertise regarding their own property.

The little sign is sort of my advertising. 

No ability to advertise the property.

Thankfully, I did not sign up for the guru packages that were advertised, but did meet some really nice people who are interested in the business. 

For example, I often see tax services on second floors...so, focus advertising or networking at local university with accounting program OR contact HR Block corporate and find the department or people at Block, that helps franchisee open up locations and let them know about your available space...more than likely they will have a broker that helps them and will direct you there, but networking with that broker could lead to a very profitable partnership.Basically, figure out the business that can work there and then use common sense to find sources or connections to those types of business people.

Now to the craziness.We first attempted to obtain a conventional mortgage because the home was advertised as “passable” for inspection purposes.
