The other option is to refinance the current condo into your own name and eliminate it from your parents assists completely so that you get all of the condo instead of having to split with your brothers.

Hi Michael, I started tax lien investing after  identifying my criteria (types of liens, tax assessor values, owned by bank vs. mortgagee vs. business)went to a couple auctions in the areas I was interested in getting involved in to figure out the pace and the players at the auctionreading 16% Solution by Joel Moskowitzreading through BP to figure out how other seasoned tax lien investors (Ned Carey is one) were approaching their business Hope this helps.

@Michael Schuda would love to be able to assist you here!

Thank you in advance for your assistance. 

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Really depending on what the property NEEDS, it could be more.DC has a great First Time Home Buyer Program that allows you to put as little as 3.5% down (FHA) and even offer a down payment assistance loan.

Whereas, some of the newer players might guest for free, or might even pay BP, for the exposure to potential investors.Anyone in the know about this?

That is 0% down loan and the seller can contribute up to 4% Closing Cost Assistance (CCA) towards closing the transaction.

If an investor really can't afford to list at full commission and is comfortable selling without assistance, they can use a flat fee brokerage instead.  

I'm going to keep my personal things pretty limited... record player, clothes, pictures....
