However, this has to be the primary residence of everyone on title in order to qualify and even if that were all true, we're still only up to $1M that way.I agree with the other commenters, the parents should continue to own it and live in it as their primary, leave it to the daughter when they pass, and she inherits it at the stepped up cost basis. 

I'd also stay away from the low priced properties that look too good to be true.

There are a very limited and reliable few of lenders that do true DSCR 2nds.
