My husband and I are wanting to get a multi-family and are thinking a great way to get my brother involved is the following:My brother would get an FHA loan for a triplex or 4-plex in FloridaI would put the 3.5% down payment as a co-borrowerMy brother and his fiancé would live in one of the units for a few years rent free so they can save money for a houseMy brother would manage the property by showing units, cleaning them when someone moves out, and as much maintenance as he can handle on his ownI would handle the finances paying the mortgage using the cash flow and keep the profits since my brother is living rent freeMy brother would move out eventually (2 or 3 years later) and we would refinance into a regular mortgage so that he can get another FHA loanWe would begin splitting all profits 50/50 once he moves outMy question is, has anyone reading this done this before?

I am a Realtor and a co-owner of a real estate investing company.

They will probably flinch if a co is buying their house.  

The numbers are great, location is spot on, and the home is exactly what I've been wanting and searching for.I have potential partners, but NEED to know if I can still apply for an FHA 203K loan with a co-signer.

Even after buying my house, I continued looking at MLS both for the "dream house" and for "project houses" to rehab and sell or rent.It wasn't until a co-worker of mine started talking about rehabbing houses that I began taking a serious look at whether this was a worthwhile venture for me and my family.

A co worker here introduced me to the whole selling game a couple weeks ago, There is a lot of money to be made in this field, i started by driving around neighborhoods looking for distressed properties.With my mother most likely being one of my first investors I could use the whole selling tactics to find great deals send them to my mother and help her with the rehabbing thus getting my foot in the rehab side of real estate.Any advice is greatly appreciated, and if there's anyone in the DC/MD/VA area i am always looking to network, I dont know much so it would be a great help learning from someone who's already in the position i want to be in.Thank you

There are many co-ops in NYC and I've heard plenty of stories about a co-op board rejecting a buyer because they thought they wouldn't be a "good fit" for the building.. these were celebrities usually who the board thought would be partying to much probably but basically any excuse will do other then race, sex etc...

Along with a co biography or summary of completed transactions and such.

A co-worker of mine has been to Nicaragua before(as well as a number of other Caribbean countries) and feels it will only be a matter of time before it follows Costa rica and booms.

Even if it were the case, the arrearages must be paid if it's a curable breach.By not being a co-borrower, the successor may have averted the default being noted on her credit as a derog, perhaps compensating for the hassle of reinstating.
