Give it a solid 2 weeks before you sign up for anything or pay anyone any money. 

Is it possible to start investing with little or no money?

Truth be told, the less money you put down, the higher the rate.

@Bruce Lynn, while I am guessing because I don't know "most" large multifamily, I would say it is very much manager dependent and likely to become more common place as many syndicators are struggling to make their mortgage payments.Ownership companies are still run by people, and people that don't have enough money to pay their bills will start prioritizing who to pay based on the perceived risks of not paying.As for taking over any outstanding bills, that is one of many issues of the common LLC transfer.  

This part is like magic – watch your money come back to you!

Tax sales are by no means "easy money" like many people think and I would never recommend a tax sale for a first timer for EXACTLY these reasons.

You can maybe save some cash and just get a single line virtual dialer like Vonage Business or Ring Central (look for month to month only), you don't need a massive power dialer right off the bat (another $150-$250 per month). 

So when you go you will be better prepared.You may also get to see some attorneys and if you decide to hire one, you will see which ones actually go to court, which ones are prepared and worth their money, etc.   

You certainly 'can' work directly with the builder, but you will NOT save any money by doing so.

But I’ll be clearing some more money by fall.
