find a motivated seller, one who is paying every month to own that<br>property, one who doesn't have the skills to fix it up, one who moved<br>out of town, or the country, then he <B>MIGHT</B> go for it! Notice that I<br>did not say WILL go for it, but <B>MIGHT!</B><P>Think of yourself when you had a car that you wanted to get rid of,<br>because it was a piece of junk. If someone approached you and asked<br>"how much?", you'd say "$1000, firm". But you knew deep inside that you<br>just wanted to get rid of the headache!! And if you ever had to wait<br>for a month or two with no one buying your car, suddenly you were not<br>quite so firm on the price! And if the alternator had to be replaced<br>before the car could run, pretty soon you just wanted it OUT of your<br>hands!! NOW, you're ready to accept monthly payments, maybe hold<br>something as security, etc. You just want it <B>GONE!</B> It is the samewith<br>real estate properties! They go from being our pride and joy to an<br>albatross around our necks--then we're ready to do <B>WHATEVER</B> it takes to<br>get rid of it!<br><br>These people aren't going to jump up and down and say "I'm willing to<br>take a no money down deal for my property"! They are going to be<br>depressed, just like the fellow with a clunker in his back yard, sitting<br>there for months. They are going to need some convincing, but if you<br>find the <B>"DON'T WANTER"</B>, the most difficult part is done! Then youmake<br>offers, look closely at each property to see if you can make a go of it<br>(that's a whole other report!) if you can get the property--sometimes<br>you don't want it either! Then it is just a matter of making offers,<br>either in person, or through a realtor, until you find someone who is<br>ready to deal. The first time is the hardest, because no matter how<br>many times I tell you (or the TV guys) that it <B>CAN</B> be done, you are<br>going to think "not for me, not here in __________, not any more, not<br>with my areas laws and zoning regulations, not with my personality, not<br>with my brains, etc." Don't you believe it! Look at all the people in<br>the TV commercials-all types and shapes-they have ONE thing in<br>common--they went out and DID IT!<br><B>ALL IT TAKES IS GUTS AND PERSEVERANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</B><P>Here's the "stream of consciousness" of ideas on how to buy with $000.00<br>down, but keep in mind the whole time that <B>IN REAL ESTATE EVERYTHING IS<br>NEGOTIABLE!</B><P><B> 1) </B> The simplest way to buy with no money down is to get the sellerto<br>carry an agreement for sale. Monthly payments for 25 years are possible<br>if the seller has no need for the money, and can be convinced to get his<br>6,7,8% return secured by his house instead of buying a 4% bond.<br><B> 2) </B> If you have good credit and want to put no money into aproperty,<br>try a first mortgage, Vendor carries a big second for remainder. Seller<br>gets , say 75%, and carries 25%.<br><B> 3) </B>Again with good credit, try first, smaller 2nd, and a Personal Lineof<br>
