.- 1 cash for keys (basically a cheaper alternative to eviction), this was a professional tenant for whom this was a plan from the beginning- 1 drug addict who left voluntarily for fear of having her voucher taken away (lots of property damage and 2 broken windows from when one of her friends overdosed on something)- 1 lady who illegally sublet my apartment to a drug dealer (there was an FBI raid in that apartment about 3 months after she moved)- 1 "handyman" tenant who never had money to pay his share of rent but always volunteered to do repairs, most of his repairs ended up being temporary mickey-mouse repairs that ended up costing me more in the end, in the end he and his wife left with almost $4000 in unpaid back rent- 1 lady who always had sketchy visitors over including a "friend" who supposedly had a slip and fall accident on my porch and is still suing my insurance company over it- Almost tenant threw a tantrum because I asked for a co-signer since security deposit was not coming from her own funds, she complained to MCAD (Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination) because I supposedly discriminated against her by asking for a co-signer when I wouldn't have asked for one if the security deposit came out of her own funds.

So, if you want your name on the title at closing, you will likely have to be a co-signer on the loan.

I appreciate that information getting a co signer might be a good option to keep the down payment cheaper

I personally have a lot of development experience including over 100mw's of operational solar and a pipeline of over 600 more but I act/acted as a co-developer and my partner/co-development companies always took care of the financing.

My question is when do I bring up the subject of a co-broker agreement? 

Challenges: we couldn't get a CO before the property went under so we had to accept the situation as is with some protections Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I have a co-worker whose dad operating student rooming houses in Baltimore doing very well.

I'm not sure why my lawyer at the time didn't advise me that this would potentially be an issue later on down the line and I'm also not sure why the city even issued a CO.

I always use a co-listing agent for my listings so if someone calls me and I'm on a call they have another point of contact for information.

What about a co signer for the kids "without" credit?
