Ok, on to your question. Is it possible to buy a house without money?
Thats a big no. You can't buy a house without money. BUT, you can buy and sell a house to make a profit without ever needing to place a downpayment.
Its called 'flipping', and this practice originated long before we were born, and it is happening around the world. Success stories of people making huge amounts of money are abound on the tv, magazines and the internet. Its true, it is possible. But generally speaking, not in present time.
This method of flipping properties for quick profits works only in places where people are largely ill-informed of the market rates, and such.
But in a well-developed country like Singapore, it will hardly ever work anymore because of our trusty property valuers and property agents with the latest information. This is evident by the failure of many speculators who booked properties in the marina bay area, in the hope of flipping within weeks or even days , but of course most failed to do so.
Please be mine mentor..Originally posted by industrie:Oh yes, if the question was 'Can you buy a property for free?' Then i would say a big YES.
Assume that you invested in the stock market and earned money from it. Its effectively free money that you earned without ever working for it.
And if you purchase a property with your profit, in theory, thats a free property for you.
