There are many, many, many government-funded grants that in some cases do not have to be paid back!!! For example, if you found lets say a duplex or four plex that need fixing up--there are ways where the government would actually pay for that property based on your written agreement to make it a decent place for renters to live and if you housed 1 or 2 units with a person who has a disability and is on section 8--the government will fund this for you on those conditions and on the condition that you maintain the property and keep it nice. WOW. They are out there--so many things of this sort. Where to start would be
www.USA.GOV or WWW.Grants.gov. There are many others. Also, the Government will do penny auctions on foreclosed homes. Thats right PENNY auctions. Do a little research on these because they come and rapidly go. They are out there!!!! It is also good to visit the Chamber of Commerce in your area. They can be a huge resource at one time or another. There are lists that you can obtain from banks of forclosures. Keep your eye open for abandoned homes apartments etc. Do your research on them because sometimes they were given to the state or some circumstance that you may be able to remedy by becoming the new owner. Dig Dig Dig for the info and you will find it. Any questions feel free to e-mail me: purplehaaze34@yahoo.com. Good luck, Crysta
