It will take me  a few hours and a bunch of edits to tell my story, so here is a short Quick reply, i started real estate straight out of high school,in the toughest parts of south central Los Angeles no car no money i will say this if you learn how to communicate and talk to sellers in a humble sincere effective manner you will be surprised what a seller will be willing to do to sell their home to you, in my experience it is not who offers the most money it is who makes the seller feel more comfortable, im refereeing to FSBO's, reo's etc was not popular back then but foreclosures were on fire, i was pretty good at talking and adapting to homeowners in distressed i'm very big on what i call the "like factor" so i was able to arrange terms that some of you would not believe me if i wrote it in a post, my point is yes you can buy with zero money (if you have the knowledge and know how) it is several ways to get a deal done when you have no money.

But beware, they sometimes weed out non-owner customers also, waste of contractors time, most of the time.
