Spending quality time with your kids and connecting with inspirational individuals are definitely enriching pursuits outside of real estate.

Actually it looks like it is by each individual housing authority if they will participate.Hate to say this, but it is going to be like finding a needle in a haystack.....borrower will need to find a lender that will do it. 

For time horizons of 5 years or less, I usually prefer something safe like a HYSA or money-market fund.

The tradeoff on the joint financing is going to be the (refi) costs associated w any transfer of ownership, HOWEVER transferring title to the LLC is unlikely to trigger due on sale (b/c it sounds like most banks simply aren't monitoring and/or enforcing due on sale in these instances) which would make the ownership (sans the actual mortgage note) more easily transferable than exiting your position as an individual owner?
