My father in law is a contractor and said he would be willing to do the rehab for a percentage of the equity/cash flow.

Hi Shannon, He was living with his father who is elderly but his name was not on any of the transaction or escrow paper work.Also I spoke with another real estate attorney he mentioned, since this sale was a done by one agent (I had to use the sellers agent ) The realtor has failed to do her Fiduciary Duty in protecting the rights of the sellers' which in this case my wife and I.

I'm a full time Firefighter/EMT, husband, father of two very active and amazing children, and a dedicated family man.

@Randy JonesGood question.Generally a father's IRA cannot be invested in his son's business as a son is generally considered disqualify party directly or indirectly.

Wish I had paid more attention to my handyman father growing up... :)@Kim Younkin mentioned on my intro post that I should check out www.centralohioreia.com. 

Hello,I'm posting on behalf of my parents (mother is buyer and father is buying agent and planning to occupy home).

Any who, my overall goal is cashflow and to also retire my father.

I am a 25 year old South Denver native and have worked as a carpenter for my fathers residential remodeling company on and off for the last 10 years (throughout High School and College), since graduating college I have become increasingly interested in the business side of residential homes and have therefore been a licensed Realtor for 18 months now.

I guess part of the reason why I decided to pursue architecture is that my father worked in construction for many years and this line of work was something I felt familiar with.

My father passed away a few months ago unexpectedly at the age of 52.
