Help! Pulling Out Equity
I have a buddy who bought a duplex in Chicago about 1 year ago using FHA loan, he has owes $58,000 but it's worth $160,000. He recently lost his job and the bank won't allow him to refinance and pull out any equity. Is there a way that we can work together allowing me to assume ownership and pull the equity out? I Have a fulltime job and I'm a Licensed real estate agent. Please Help
