In the event that I (under the name of an LLC) needed to get a co-signer on a commercial loan, would a bank typically require that the co-signer have ownership in that property as well or could banks allow them to simply just be the guarantor for the loan and allow my LLC to maintain complete title of the property?

When you say the business or owner of the business will be a co-signer or guarantor, do you think we need to specify that on the lease or with an addendum, or can their name just appear along as a "tenant"?

Hey BP'ers,7 years ago I bought a co-op apartment in NJ and it was my primary residence for several years before I moved out.

Purchase price: $210,000 Cash invested: $80,000 So this was a word of mouth by a co-Worker whos uncle passed away.

The more info can help with more leads.Or, depending if you're wanting to be involved, if you'd prefer a co-manager to help manage.

She does not want to do a co-signer and is suggesting her fiance wants to be on the lease.How else can it happen if not co-signing?

You could also potentially use your parents as a co-signer on the loan if they are willing. 

Does anyone know what 'Market Terms' are for having a Co-GP investor with the following structure:I (operator) source the property, do all of the work, handle all of the operations, reporting, etc.Co-GP provides 90-98% of the GP equity required, and signs on the Loan Docs.  

I got approved for a conventional loan for 200k when I thought I would need a co-signer to buy my first property.

@Alex Duarte  1)  possible to  add a  co borrower  in order to get  dti in line  2) get the addition  funds from  other  sources  ( 401K loan /   family  gift / personal loan )  3) consider a  new  1st mtg  refinance  for the  cash  out  even  with rate  and payment being  higher  than what you have now  - it  might be  your  only option
