If you have a family member or friend that works in real estate, whether as an agent, mortgage broker, real estate investor, or title officer, you may be stumped as to what type of gift to buy for him or her.

You could probably just gift the money to the US family member if you trust them enough to gift you back with interest if the venture works out.

You'll get a much better response with your letters if you use a gift card size envelope in pastel colors

I have never really been interested in the real estate game until I was gifted an education by my mother with a company called Fourtune Builders.

I think I will be buying each unit a small gift basket for the holidays to show my appreciations for them staying with me.

I have read that section 8 housing can be a gift and a curse, but that there are a LOT of positives to renting to section 8 tenants.

At this point, I don't always trust that there isn't one there just because I can't see it.You can still refer the guy, you just can't really get paid for it.The agent can give you a token gift, say a $25 gift card that could just be considered a deductible business gift for them as well.Bigger thing is a) good karma from helping out the seller and b) building a relationship with the agent.Having an agent that will help you with stuff is a good thing to have.

He did say I can use gifted funds, which is a relief because the deal will fall through otherwise.My main question is this: why does the FHA require reserves on 3 & 4 unit properties if they've already approved me, based on income, for PITI that I can afford on my own?

Looks great now, but took everything I had left to do it.And now this.And now it's the holidays, and I have 2 kids, 7 and 9 year old girls, to get gifts for.My god, I don't know what I'm going to do.On a good note, just got approved for a one month deferment on my car.

Is it with a gift deed?
