203K Loan Question -- Could I Qualify In This Scenario

Steve Cheren

Posted

I love the idea of the 203K mortgage (which I learned about on a recent BP podcast), however I am not able to live in any investment property I buy.  I know someone I could "partner" with, who would be willing to live in a C-class building, but has little to no money to invest.  I was thinking I could consider the savings in down payment as his contribution to the deal, and allocate % ownership accordingly.  Does anyone know if this seems feasible?  Would I be able to qualify for a 203K under these circumstances?

Hey there everyone! I’m not sure how deeply any of you have researched the 203K loan, but in the spirit of sharing knowledge, I started a discussion on the subject here: The 203K Loan - Open Discussion. Lots of great stories from people who succeeded and had nightmares with this type of financing. Many pros, but also many cons if you are not prepared.
