As another poster alluded to..............Seller Financing.   The thing to remember is sometimes doing business with family in a direct way like this can be...................................................awkward.

FHA203K loan may actually be a very viable option since, for the purposes of the loan you are not dealing directly with the "seller". Reach out to @Chris Mason     He is right here in the Bay Area and can get you fixed up.
