Recent events have pressed more of a NEED than a WANT- looking to get my brother-in-law into a flip or BRRRR-type property for a few reasons: 1) Get a young single father an alternative living arrangement to current situation 2) Allow him to pay down debt 3) Get him interested in real estate investing for lifelong financial benefit.

What type of arrangements if I assisted on the down payment and light rehab? 

She "knew" she was paying the rent late every month, but had worked out an arrangement with the previous PM for it - she got paid the first Friday of the month, then on that Monday or Tuesday she got a check from the bank.

She needs to find a more affordable living arrangement and you need a tenant whom can afford your rent and pays on time.

@Jordan Hamilton,  Usually the decision to go with an entity as opposed to a TIC arrangement is going to hinge on control, financing, and distribution of returns. 

-if there was an unexpected expense (such as a car repair or family emergency) that the service member didn't have the cash or credit to pay for, we would arrange for a certain military charity to offer a no-interest loan (or sometimes grant) to get him by for a couple months.  

I try to arrange a special speaker each month to talk for a while on local issues, government, code enforcement, realtors, legal, accounting, etc.

I am looking into buying a rental property in the Boston area (it does not need to actually be in Boston) but I want to be able to rent to students and young professionals, as I plan to do a micro-unit, coliving type arrangement, and they will be my target market.

Originally posted by @Abel Lopez:@Dennis M.Haha yes that's exactly why I was asking would it be worth re negotiating the deal to better terms if so what would you ask for in this type of deal Doesn’t hurt to ask .. if you could get in at the right terms you could have a decent little arrangement.

If you want to keep the home, you need to either work out an arrangement with the mortgagor or refinance the loan.
