Brandy's background is in education and ended up working through a grant program that focused on preparing middle and high school students for higher education.

I was watching an infomercial by John Beck's program that claims you can buy properties for few hundred dollars (about $300) from tax foreclosure sales.

Hi all, I caught a preview to a program last week, that made me set my DVR to record it.

That goes for neighborhood assistant programs too!

Assuming that this is investment, I would suggest that you review the merits of a rehab loan (whether it be conventional or hard money)---programs would allow you to finance 100% of the purchase + 100% of repairs + 100% of closing costs (and in some cases, 100% of the mortgage payments) and you could use the down payment as cash reserves.

I am a broker, but not affiliated with any traditional real estate company.

This is really just a forced savings program.

In trying to go from in-house solutions to vendor products, they would go for huge, highly complex programs.

I've recently applied for the First Time homebuyer down payment assistance program with a local city here and had a few questions on how those programs are ran, if anyone is familiar with them.If everything goes through, i will be eligible to receive $25-30K in down payment assistance (as a forgivable second mortgage) to buy a property within that city.

If you are interested, just stop by your local small airport and check out their programs.
