I noticed recently that there are several different papers that print a Public Notice section with Notice to Creditors.

LOLJust go to the bank and ask them what they will require, they will be very informative, and if they are a portfolio lender, they may even have some programs available to you. 

Some really good deals can be found at public auctions.

You can post there and it won't show up in the search engines and this would be a good place to post if you want it to be hidden from public view. 

Wishing you good luck with your investing program. 

Currently RI has this new program for college students, where they give new graduates $7k  down payment through their first home www.gradgrant.org. 

Found a mentor, or he found me, showed me how to make money in real estate by buying really cheap houses in Baltimore at public auction.

No, if you don't hold a license you can not give property information to the public, can't put any deal together, you're a clerk in the back office, you can say hello to clients and get coffee, but you can't discuss anything to do with real estate.

You may have to agree to live in the house for a certain number of years or agree to do a good amount of repairs, however this is definitely a program to search for in the area you’re looking to buy. 

The attorneys are thoroughly vetted by the program, and you get an initial consultation through the service with a local attorney who specializes in this area of practice.
