For 2019 someone can gift $15,000 or less annually without having to pay taxes or report it. 2.

I was wondering if it was legal (or just looked tacky) to make a post on my personal page, tagging my business page and asking my Facebook friends for referrals for a prize, for example: share my business page or tag someone you know who may be looking for real estate and the person who sends me someone that creates an actual deal gets a $10 Starbucks gift card or something along those lines.

We were hoping to bridge that -$25k gap by using an unsecured loan or through a gift from family members.

@Shannon Browing You can get you down payment from a gift from a direct relative.

This is my gift for those that were talking to him.

You may need to open a checking account to not be charged a % (non-members of my bank have to pay a few percent to use their coin sorter).I believe Coinstar (a popular coin-sorting company) doesn't charge fees when you convert your coin total to an Amazon gift card (as opposed to receiving cash which they charge a % for).

This extra cash would be a loan or a gift from your parents to invest? 

Maybe send them a coffee card or gift card for the trouble.Don't make it a bigger deal than it is.

Using gift equity to cover down payment, closing costs, and any other expenses from the purchase.
