You can seller finance the equity or put it in your down payment, whichever works out for both parties

Just make sure whichever filter you get works well and is specifically designed to remove lead.    

If in fact they do need to leave we will fill with section 8 or market tenants whichever comes up first.

My plan would be to either sell or hold, whichever makes more sense when the time comes.I'm a stay at home dad, so it would be under my wife's name.

Many of my clients who choose to hold properties refinance in under 90 days at 120% of cost basis or 75% of ARV, whichever is less. 

(I do like Ohio, esp Columbus) If you're at all handy, and familiarize yourself with some of the trades , you can save a lot being the contractor and hiring whichever trades/bids to perform your needed tasks.

You want a seasoned banker/loan officer as well as a seasoned real estate agent in most cases to avoid rookie mistakes.Make sure which ever bank/lender you choose can help you with your first mortgage and several after the fact.

You can structure it so you take possession upon his death or when he moves out, whichever comes first.It's a win/win/win.

I would say its fairly common, just make sure that you do your due diligence on whichever lender/broker you use!
