Buying home for my father.

Hey all new to the Forum. I just started in single family real estate investing with a couple small houses.

The next i want to purchase is a small 1 bedroom condo for my father.

I have some questions about this as far as the best way to purchase this.

I am more than likely paying cash and if anything i will only make him pay me what the taxes and association fee costs. Is it best to collect and actual rent from him or is there any tax breaks as far as me not taking anything from him and helping him out in hard times?

Also, is there a way to make the taxes homestead if i dont actually charge him a rent or what is the best way to handle the taxes? just as an investment property?

Thanks for any info!

Tim
