Fairy: You got it. Say that again.

Teen-Kid: I want to be like him. Not 'do' but 'be'.

Fairy: Good. Now, why do you want to be like him?

Teen-Kid: It's way he is with children, and how he respects teacher, being King and all.

Fairy: Yes, you are identifying yourself with his character. You are emulating traits you feel you have yourself. You have them in you. You can’t ‘get’ them.

Teen-Kid: Do I really become like him, when I pretend?

Fairy: Not really, but you bring out these traits in yourself. You would not see them, if you did not have them.

Teen-Kid: I have those things?

Fairy: You sure do.

Teen-Kid: You said something about a fortune?

Fairy: When you play, you express yourself perfectly. You are being you. The way it is intended is that, while you play, you sort peas, green in pot, dry in trash, until there are no dried-out peas. The green peas are you, as you were intended to be. The dried-out peas are what you have learnt, or were taught, to contrary.

Teen-Kid: All green peas. That reminds me of Cinderella.

Fairy: That's a good one. And what did she end up becoming?

Teen-Kid: She married Prince, of all people, he made her his Princess.

Fairy: You got that upside-down.

Teen-Kid: Oh, I see what you mean: She became a Princess and then got to marry Prince.

Fairy: There's your fortune.

Teen-Kid: I don't get it. You mean I have to marry a Princess?

Fairy: Stop! You're making me giggle! No!

Teen-Kid: Now, I am playing, and playing, and there's my fortune...How?

Fairy: Become a Prince. The rest will fall into place. Most of all, BE YOUR (green-pea) SELF.

How does this benefit you? Well, more than likely previous owners of property have been making payments on it for some time, bringing down amount bank was owed and increasing equity in property. Since bank is only concerned about recouping what they are owed and not really attempting to make a profit, then you can essentially reap benefit of equity in property and purchase home for what is owed which is likely well below current market value.

This approach while simple in theory does require research, time, fixup, and perhaps even cash upfront. This approach is not for everyone, but if your situation allows for it, you may be able to snag a great deal on a nicer home than you could otherwise afford.
