Why would her mom , sIster, cousin ,or friends go the laundry mat and pay 2.50 a load when they can just stop over your property and do it for free !

Then go to credit karma, sign up for rental karma and they will verify with your "landlord" and that will put payment history on your credit.I once had to cosign for my sister, who made 3 times as much money as I did. 

I have a condo (townhouse) in Sunrise Florida, I live abroad and my sister manages it.

Ironic that you responded though as I’m originally from RI and my sister lives in N Kingston. 

(Texas) I rented a 3/2 to two sisters and a couple who looked just fine on paper. 

Due to a family emergency they have asked if a sister-in-law can move in with her 2 kids.

I went to elementary, middle and high school in the DFW area and graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Advertising.My mom, brother, sister, dad, niece and nephew all still live in the DFW area and I visit them as often as I can and usually spend Christmas in DFW.

If it's rotted bad studs can always be sistered on before covering it back up as well.

Background Story; My fiance's best friend, recently going through a bad break up, has always rented (lives with her sister, her cats, and her sister's dog), but she thinks now it may be a good idea to finally buy as rents are high and even more difficult for ones allowing pets. 

Even though all his kids are home owners and landlords AND my sister is an attorney, and brother a tax guy,  we hired an estate attorney and a tax person to help us with the specifics regarding his estate, real estate issues and tax implications.
