Can you really buy foreclosure property for no money down?
I have been watching late night infomercials claiming you can buy property for less on the dollar and more importantly for zero money down? How is this possible and does it violate any state laws for taking advantage of their situation?

VERY TOUGH … watch out with the infomercials..their business is SELLING YOU their packages…
The very least the entire price on the very least the very least the entire price on the entire price.
For him you cannot buy property for no equity in cash.
For no money at the very least the very least the very least the very least the entire price.
I don’t think so. Most foreclosures are handled by the county sherrifs department.
State laws vary from state to state, but the biggest obsticle is the bank.
It is possible to buy a house in general with no money down. You will typically have to take out 2 or 3 mortgages to do so or have to purchase PMI (insurance in case you default on the loan). Mortgages also require an assesment of the property.
Forclosures typically require money down once you purchase the property to “hold” it (the county I lived in required 10%). The county will then usually give you a few days (some may give you up to a week…the county I used to live in gave you 24 hours) to come up with the rest of the cash. If you do not pay the bill, the property goes up for auction again and you lose your down payment.
Put the two concepts together… Changes are the county will require cash (or another secured form of payment) to purchase the property, and this will usually be due within days. The bank wants to evaluate a property before they issue a loan against it to make sure they can recover their money (and this takes time).
Regardless, you will probably have to provide a down payment to pay to the county. Even if they don’t, the biggest problem then is to find financing fast enough.
If this is something you are interested in, I would suggest finding a mortgage broker you trust and see what they can come up with for you.
It is possible and it’s legal. Some states have laws in place to help protect homeowners from losing their homes. For example, if I am buying the equity of a home in California, I have to give the owners a special contract which gives them 5 days to think about this contract. However this stupid law ends up hurting the home owners because the government thinks that we’re too stupid and dumb and by giving us 5 days, we’ll be able to make wise choices, when in fact, everyone is screwed until the 5 days is up.
Anyway, to learn all the tricks of the trade for free, just visit your local bookstore and visit this website:
Pennies on the dollar is buying the equity in a home. Buying zero down is usually done by using other people’s money (such as a hard money lender) or selling your option to purchase the home to another person.
Good luck.

you can also approach the homeowner while in PRE foreclosure, alowing you to purchase the house 100% financing, then flip it, you can usually get the house at 30 to 60% off.

Het wegknippen van huizen is een groot beroep om binnen te zijn. Ik knip momenteel huizen voor het leven weg, en een ontploffing gehad die hundred' maakt; s van duizenden dollars. De sleutel moet zo veel werk doen aangezien u op uw kunt.
Wist u dat u $40.000 + op een huis, en nooit zelfs kunt maken het?
Neem een blik bij mijn website – ik zette het enkel online vorige maand -

Is it possible? Sure. Is it likely? About as likely as making a million $$ on slots in Vegas. There are a thousand people selling schemes to make $$ on real estate (including someone who answered this question). In my opinion none of them are worth more than reading a book. As a general rule distressed properties in good condition sell for 10% or so less than comparable non distressed ones; properties in wrecked condition can sell for much less, but then you’ve got all the problems to fix up.
nah dont believe that, most of these deals are cash only deals.
