@Derek Bugg Your loan scenario fit under following guidelines in Fannie Mae:- Children wanting to provide housing for parentsIf the parent is unable to work or does not have sufficient income to qualify for a mortgage on his or her own, the child is considered the owner/occupant.

Bus Route DODDSMoving to Germany with children will be an exciting experience.

If the mother just passed away it is possible that the house needs to go through a probate hearing and if their are other children it could take a while. 

Try and find someone who has just quit the work force to stay at home with their children.   

We lived in CA the first 30 years of our life, then 14 years in MO to raise our children in a slower-pace-of-life area.

And they have 3 children?

Much like failing to rent an apartment that contains lead to families with children holds you liable for discrimination.

In the past, tenants have cited children and elderly parents as reasons for begging off citing fears of health related issues.

Their income is much higher (10x rent), they have a large dog and a cat, and no children.

Why people bother to invest only to pass it on to children after they die is a mystery.
