Hello everyone...I need advice...ok...here is my scenario
-Pre-approved for $140k (HUD 203K loan)
-1st time homebuyer
-looking at 4 families (LRA/MLS/Tax)
-looking at properties in St. Louis City (North City-$1.7B NGA project coming)
-was told by mortgage broker that i cannot receive any down payment/closing cost assistance because i am seeking a 4 family
-was told I need at least $10k down payment/fees/closing costs
-don't have $10K in cash
-want to ask a friend to loan me $10k; but don't know what I need to offer her in return for $10k loan
-what options are there to pay her back if she does loan me the $10K?
-what other other options are there for me to use OPM (no IRA/401K)?
