Lenders will allow parents to be a non-occupying co-borrower on a home your college student plans to live in.

Rent out a room, or two or 3 in your new place to friends, family, co-workers. 

Will he co-sign on loans from banks or private lenders, or will he just say, call 15 banks?

Working with these people for a year they never told me there are more fines for not prepaying.After the above I reach out to Matt Bontrager (Co-Owner) and have a chat with him where he tries to gaslight me into this all being my fault.

I am in Madison, but set up a search in Sheboygan and Port Washington as we have some family in that area who thought could keep an eye on things and the entry prices are less (in Dane County the median MLS 4-unit sale this year is $603k with 31 sales and for Sheboygan Co. this year only saw 4 sales of 4-units noted, but a median price of $252k . 

I had a non-performing loan once where a borrower would do a deed in lieu, but there was a deceased co-borrower, and my attorney required me to go through the foreclosure process to clear title.The borrower knows you’re foreclosing and does not contest the foreclosure and “turns over the keys” to the lender.

Unless its condo, co-op, or HOA you should be fine.

It is a national disgrace that nothing has been done on behalf of the victims.Clinton, and the institutions involved, should have been co-defendants in a criminal case in Federal Court. 

By way of example, a lender may charge retainage, only release soft costs upon C/O, may limit loans to a set number of draws or only allow draws once a certain dollar amount of work has been completed.
