The concept of the zero dollar mortgage is to organize collectively a group and the fund up front the processing of their claims collectively. The group then agrees to pay a fee either at time of transaction or on an ongoing basis to fix claims.
Here is a link to the concept: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zp5ocVTeKUallwfhNZ-YL-2HRuN-lrjlWuY1C18Rqks/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1
a paper explaining dead capital: http://www.ild.org.pe/sites/default/files/diagnosticos/philippines_en.pdf
and finally our site on the dead capital issue. http://livecapital.wordpress.com/
for those interested please help define and expand the "dead capital wikipedia entry"

one of the major issues with housing is the property rights which are
often worth more than the house. For more info, have a look here. It
is a $9 trillion issue called dead capital and one of the factors
contributing to the lack of capital investment in higher quality
housing stock.

we are working on a solution called the $0 mortgage, which involves
dead capital arbitrage. for those interested in following the issue

to The $300 House
It is good to see work in that arena. It is and has been a major
obstacle to improving the living conditions of the poorest of the
poor.
That is one of my reservations about the conventional wisdom expressed
in the $300.00 house. People aren't going to invest much effort in a
house on land they can't own. Unless of course that house is made
where it can be de-constructed and rebuilt elsewhere. Earth bag and
earth block construction don't offer that option. They are wonderful
ideas for situations where the ownership of the land isn't in
dispute. But they aren't viable options where it is.
