We offered what HUD  is asking and asked for 3% towards closing cost and this home is apart of the $100 down program. 

Austin, is there a book, author or guru program you like and recommend?

We have a program in house where you can get people driving around for you sending you pictures of these houses.  

I signed up for a 3-day course from the Rich Dad events for $499 (Heres my review on the course: Rich Dad Event Review) and I didnt sign up for the follow up program that costed $18,000-$60,000 because I figured it was common sense. 

If anyone has any insight on this program it would be greatly appreciated!! 

From what i heard, is that when people attend the workshop, they get hustle for $25 of $50k to join the mentoring program.

You need to keep in touch with various smaller local banks as their programs will change from time to time. 

you will need to show 2 Yr tax return for a conventional loan and a lot of times they don't count capital gains as income.It better if you try to get a mortgage while you still have a job and buy a duplex with small downpayment (maybe fha loan or one of the Fannie May programs they have now - I think it's called HomePath or similar name). 

I think we all don't like slumloarding but the Entitlement programs are getting ridiculous especially when you consider how hard we work for real estate property. 

To provide every American household with decent, affordable housing, given the large and widening gap between incomes and housing costs, will require vastly more government subsidies than we now devote to housing - the exact amount of course depends on what kinds of programs, what systems of financing, ownership, development and management we choose (the more market-oriented, the larger the cost; the more we create a social housing sector, the smaller the cost), but think along the lines of $80-100 billion annually.
