Has anyone ever leveraged someone else's first time home buyers status?
Is it possible to partner up with a first time home buyer with no money to buy a quadplex? What are the loan and legal implications?
I assume that some sort of LLC or partnership deal would need to happen first. But I was wondering if a residential loan would take my credit into account or both our credits?

It could be considered mortgage fraud if you don't disclose things properly. Their source of downpayment, any other side agreements on the property etc.
Theoretically, You may be able to co-sign or be listed on the deed despite not being the occupier......
I just hit post 3k.
