I suggest borrowing money from “Dad” and use a “Gift letter” - work out payback terms with Dad later. 2) If you’re thinking about doing a cash out refinance to pay-off your lender of the down payment you’re banking on the property appraising high enough to allow you to pull more out.

The house was gifted to my father from a family member so he has no money invested in it other than maintenance that comes from the rent, he has rented it out over 20 years but now would like to sell it to me to live in for 40,000.00 well below fair market value at around 100,000.00 My question is if I purchase it from him and something happens after the sale to my father and he needs healthcare more than he has money for can the county or state come back on me and take the house or make me pay the state of Ohio the difference?
