HUD has a lot of programs not only to help buyers of properties but to also offer properties at a HUGE DISCOUNT. You can contact just about any Realtor, usually those who specialize in HUD, and they can give you a weekly list of new properties.

If you don,t have your own home, you can get your own house for 3% down plus closing costs. If you are an investor, HUD usually requires a down payment of 25%.

It,s recommended that you start investing with 2 - 4 unit buildings. The reason being is because you can get a residential Ioan package from any mortgage company with residential buildings of 4 units or less. This makes the process much easier because you
can get 100% financing for just about any residential loan and you can have the worst possible credit!

Here,s a grant program specifically designed for 2 - 4 unit buildings:

$277,000 to Help Purchase a 2-4 Family Unit
14.117 Mortgage lnsurance-Homes 203B

You can buy a mobile home for yourself or to fix up and flip
for a profit. Here is a program for that too:

$48,000 to Buy a Mobile Home
14.110 Manufactured Home Loan lnsurance

Another profitable avenue to take is building or rehabilitating condos. You can do this with a special government grant program that allows you to get up to $2 million dollars to work with these types of properties. Below is a special grant to work with condos:

$2 Million to Build or Rehabilitate Condominiums
Section 234(d),
HUD insures mortgage loans made by private lenders to finance the construction or rehab of condos.

Every city and town across the nation has older home that can use a good fixing up. This program can allow you to get $100,000 in free grant money to purchase an older home for the purposes of fixing it up. You can use this money as an outright purchase for an older home or as a down payment or to use for repairs, remodeling expenses, etc. Here is the resource:

The government can help!

Bukovel Ski Resort

2007-11-17T12:17:00.000-08:00

Bukovel ski resort

Bukovel ski resort is a new large ski resort in Ivano-Frankovsk oblast 30 km to the west of Yaremcha. It is Ukraine's first European-class resort, with a couple high-speed chair lifts, meticulously groomed slopes and snow-making machines, turnstyles for letting skiers through lines, and ubiquitous security personnel. It's unusual to see this degree of organization in Ukraine. Bukovel resort has been carefully planned to make skiing enjoyable and convenient and to avoid lift lines and congestion. Lift lines longer than five minutes are rare.

Bukovel has major plans for expansion; supposedly by the 2008-2009 season it plans to have 278 km of runs and 35 (!) lifts, which would make it one of the 20 largest ski resorts in the world. Currently, before the start of the 2006/2007 season, there are 14 lifts and 50 km of runs.
