Lots of options for you here, ultimately you need to do what you feel comfortable doing.Maybe get a co-signer or see if she knows anyone that could be put on the lease with her and help her pay the expenses, or suggest she tries to get some sort of housing assistance.Again at the end of the day you are the one that needs to live with whatever decision you make. 

I wanted to know if it is wise to buy a co-op as a first-time home buyer.

Jodi, I would find a co-signer to qualify for a better rate.

I want to make sure I take the right medication so I don't have to pay a co pay.

Depends on the type of tenants you have.I had a co-worker who's somewhat a jerk.

She is open to having a co-signer added to the loan to make this more attractive for the bank.

Just wondering if someone had general advice on "best practices for filing 1099s with a co-owned rental"It strikes me as a pretty basic generic question that that everyone that co-owns a rental would need to know (and other readers could benefit from) but I could be wrong?

A co-worker actually paid for his classes and sort of summarized the concept to me, you make a proposal to an investor and if they like your plan, they may invest and if you follow certain guidelines for properties you will make money.

A co-worker moved to SWFL after his wife passed away and has a home in Illinois that is just sitting for the past year.

When my finances were almost perfect in 2017 I still had to have a co-signer to meet the debt/income ratio....Maybe private lenders were giving out sloppy loans but you would know more, it says lender next to your name lol....I haven't seen price cuts or a slowdown in northern liberties at all.
