Loaning Down payment
I have a deal lined up to buy a duplex in Wisconsin. My parents own a few rental properties that are paid off and we are interested in taking out a HELOC on one of their properties and using it to fund the down payment on my deal. I would then use cash flow to pay their HELOC payments until we are squared up. I understand they can't gift it to me, so can they come on as investors instead since it is not a gift?
