I understand that my city uses deeds instead of tax liens. Is it possible to buy a deed without any up front money (find and assign)?

Depending on your area, there may be a bunch of properties that people are walking away from. When you get the proper list together, try to edit it to eliminate as many garbage properties as you can. Then mail out to the rest of the owners.

When you get an owner who is walking away, say "Well, if you're letting the property go anyway, would it help if I took got it out of your hair and gave you $50 for your time signing the paperwork?" If they say yes, go get the deed from them. Don't record until you check title and find a buyer.

If title's good, then find your buyer and close. This is much better than finding and assigning becuase you are in control of the deal at all times. When you try to assign agreements, the parties will often try to go around you and cut out your profit.

This way you only have $50 invested and if you can't sell it's no big deal. There is a little upfront money and risk, but you can’t get odds like this at the casino!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
