Lease options, land contracts (contracts for deeds), seller financing, wholesaling, subject to's, and some types of creative financing are all possible options for getting started with little or no money.I would recommend that you consult a qualified attorney on the legal issues of any of these creative investment strategies that you pursue.

Yes, there are books on this subject because there is too much information to cover here.

Good bunch of Canadians frequent these boards.

G'day James.I smiled when I saw your subject line.

When you buy at foreclosure, you are buying a property subject to all other superior liens.

Something like "subject to business partner's inspection and walkthrough" can prevent you from being REQUIRED to buy the house if you can't find a buyer at the end of your buy period.

from what i understand, you can take the property subject to and keep the property under the owners name till you flip/assign or rehab the property.

Make the contract with your name as the buyer "and/or assigns".Make it subject to inspection by your "partner" in x days, etc.

Some different strategies include: wholesaling, birddogging, rehabbing single families, renting single families, rehabbing multifamilies, renting multifamilies, commercial properties, lease options, subject to's, carrying notes, hard money financing, contract for deeds/land contracts, development, new construction.

One caveat is that the universe hears the subject of our sentence.
