In a matter of 1.5 years... my parents bought a duplex from wholesalers, we accumulated an airbnb from wholesaler, finished first fix n flip from off market seller, and now wholesaling a couple deals my self.

Hey @Abbie Little, my brother lives there and my parents live in Sequim so I am basing my opinion on their experiences.

Agents can withhold listings and the seller would never know.

According to FHA Guidelines; a family member can be a parent, sister, brother etc….So my question is this: Can I buy a multifamily unit with 3.5% down as long as one of my Family members is living in one of the units?

If you are renting to college students, I would suggest having a parent sign as guarantor for payment and make sure you run their credit report as well.

Now, if you have a rich sibling or parent then that's what I call PRIVATE MONEY. 

I am a current foster parent and I have been n this business for 40 years. this is a passion of mine and I wanted to give back How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Hi, I've become the manager of my parents' real estate investment companies pretty much out of the blue.

I am beyond the two years required.What I am trying to do is find a way to buy a multifamily using FHA 3 1/2% down payment as opposed to 20% or 25% as an investment property.I have a situation where it would be beneficial for me to try and help my mom and my sister move into a place  because I can afford to purchase it… The grey area is whether or not they are considered family members per FHA guidelines to qualify for the 3 1/2% down payment. on the FHA website… It says family members are considered parents, sisters, brothers, etc.I am definitely not trying to do anything illegal, I just thought maybe if I sell my primary residence… I could buy the multiunit per FHA guidelines as long as my mom and my sister are considered family.I have been told that the 12 month or 24 month living requirement only requires one family member to live in the home… So if my mom and my sister are considered family members… Does that meet the requirement? 

I am new to real estate investing but I watched my parent invest in a couple of properties in the past.
