People do it all the time in REI and in regular RE as well where families pay for their children's down deposit on the house but the child assumes the mortgage.

You may consider paying your child (18 or older) a reasonable and customary management fee to handle calls, collect rents, arrange maintenance, and prepare leases.

I am originally from Tyler, Texas, but as a military child I moved around quite a bit - an experience that I believe has really added value to my life.

If they have the money to put down, if they have a job that will support the payment under good lending guideline Ratios,  (I used to be a loan officer and that is how I was trained), and If they don't have *unpaid* child support, if they aren't *delinquent* on student loans, if they aren't currently in a bankruptcy, if they aren't currently in a divorce, if they aren't currently in a lawsuit, etc.

The owner pasted away recently and left the property to their child who now occupies and owns the property.

Balloons, calls, floating rates, reporting to them annually with your financials and tax returns like you're a child.
