Check the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance at www.cfda.gov. This lists all the major federal programs.

Sources For Government Foreclosed Properties………
If you are like 99% of all the other investors in the US who wish they had their money in real estate and not stocks and bonds during the past few years, or you heard about a friend of your brother-in-law who is making a bunch on foreclosed property, remember there is no magic in finding these properties. It just takes work. Here’s where Uncle Sam keeps the bargains.

Invest In Yourself: Entrepreneuring Or Education…….
……… .The two ways to have job security are to create your own job by starting a business (you’re not even going to fire yourself unless you’re really stupid) or get the education and training that people are willing to pay money for so if someone comes into your organization and fires you, you can go right across the street and get a better job than the one you had because you have the skills that people need.

You can’t rely on other people. You have to rely on yourself. So invest in yourself and not the stock market. Why give all your money to some stock broker when they will have all the fun playing with your money and you have all the worry. Stock brokers aren’t so smart about the market. They’re smart about getting your money. Did you have any money in internet stocks?
