A co-sign would probably be one of the easiest ways around it, especially if your parents are already in real estate.Loan officers usually have a problem with lending money to small businesses, especially if your business is new, because your income will look relatively low and there's a high probability that the business will fail (just statistically). 

For example, there was a hotel we looked at in Florida, the broker was from Texas, but he basically was giving a small cut of the commission to use his license as a co-broker.

Keep in mind you can always be a Co-signer on an FHA loan if you had a family member looking to buy a primary. 

Maybe a co-working space would be a good idea.

Is it possible to buy in his name and have me as a co-sign since I have the steady income?

OR, I find a co-signer.

Hi. just asking hypothetically (in case the seeking of partners is not allowed on BP), but if a co-signer on a mortgage got cold feet, is it possible to attract another by offering a share of the cashflow from a vacation STR cabin that grosses $70,000 per year?

@Paul Brock WoodhamYou won’t be able to qualify for the loan yourself - you’d have to do conventional 20% down and have a co-signer.If you did an owner occupied and had a family member co-sign, you could do a single family unit 3.5-5% down.
