I am a co-owner of a couple properties (a duplex, a 12-unit apartment, and an 11 unit mobile home park) in the Northern Indiana region.

I have a co worker who lives in a house that he no longer wants he do have a mortgage that's about $1400/month but the down side to this is he and his EX girlfriend names are on the DEED.

Here are a few ideas to kick around:Have borrower get a co-signer, or more specifically, a co-guarantor with property with equity that gets added as additional collateral.Sweeten deal by getting additional collateral like auto, truck, inheritance, anything.If you are concerned about her performance, negotiate a contract for option.

This is where you'll see the intent and further you'll see who the law applies to or who is excluded.Financial entities, security firms, etc. are regulated under other statutes and are often exempted from statutes, if the didn't they may be requiring something contrary to other provisions or loading up some USDA farm operation allocating assets from title rights in land of a co-op moving future crop productions.I learned in the early 90s that a "business broker" in Missouri was an unregulated brokerage operation, they don't sell the RE, they can get a RE broker or attorney or allow the seller do to that part alone.

I once had to change the litter box for a co-worker.

You could get a co-borrower (equity interest) or co-signer (no equity interest) depending on the type of loan.

I currently have the funds available for downpayment and rehab costs in my roth IRA for a rental duplex (the rental duplex is bank owned and thus has no tenants). However I cannot qualify for a loan being an entre...

Though inexperienced in REI, we purchased a co-op apartment last December, went through 3.5 months of renovations and are expecting the birth of our first child any day now.

Another idea that is the quickest is to see if someone thst you are close too, maybe your parents would put you as a co-borrower on their credit card and it will put that cards history on your credit.

I would never suggest an investor make a purchase in a co-op, many are flexible and act as condos but they can change their tune when they want.
