Not to rain on your parade, Gabriel, but it is almost always a bad idea to borrow money from family and mix business and blood.

Everything I can find on HUD.gov or otherwise with google defines immediate family as: (by blood, in-law, or marriage) parent, child, or sibling -- or spouse of any of these.

Although my blood is quite watered down, lol.

Do you have specific ones that you've had to learn the hard way, aka that are "written in blood"?

The part most of the blogs forget is all the blood, sweat and tears in the middle!

I believe the adopted child's share is equally divided amongst the adopted siblings but I'm not sure if the biological siblings become involved or if there is a split in % passed down as there is with half siblings receiving 50% of what a full blood sibling would receive.  

From what I've seen in history, the people that pour their blood, sweat, and tears into this country have a tendency to be ignored.

Maybe you show up with 3000 and now they want 4000If they’re willing to shakedown blood relatives, then I have little confidence they’ll be gone in February.

Hard work, blood, sweat, tears, whatever it takes, I'm in.

So far you've risked nothing but you have an opportunity you can leverage into meaningful experience that will help you next time if this one doesn't add up.I've seen situations like this where the house represented such bad blood, the seller wanted to lose money to punish his ex.Good luck!
