I would suggest checking out a few preforeclosure books to get some ideas.

Now if they really want to have a non-performing asset on their books for that long there is just something seriously wrong with them and I would have a hard time believing they won't get off their stubborn asses and make the deal happen.

That's a book.

., very inexpensive books, CD's, etc. that are specifically geared toward beginners who are very low on cash?

Does anyone know of any good books or classes in the Houston area that would help educate me in this field?

Does anyone have any recomendations on a good book on purchasing rental properties and/or landlording??

Go to Barnes and Nobles and pick up a book on RE investing.

Having dual citizenship is great, but people shouldn't try to change the culture of one country to fit their habits from another country.I have visited and lived many parts of the Americas, and had many friends who have done the same in Europe, and in every situation, if a citizen of the USA were to expect everything to be done in English and well as the native language of the country (though recognizing it is like this in most big cities - but definately not the smaller cities), then the native people would be outraged.If people want to immigrate to the USA, I have no problem with it, I would probably strive to do the same, but we shouldn't change our culture to fit someone else's (such as translating the our Natinal Anthem into Spanish - I was not a fan of that.)

In the town I live in we have the general Apartment finder books in most convenience stores but they do not include duplexes or anything close to it.

I plan on reading some books and such, but if somebody could provide me with a short explination (Like "yes, if the bank lists for $5.00 then you can buy for $5.00).
