Granted I think you want to avoid foreclosure.If you are on the title as a co-owner then you would be legally responsible for everything that he does and anything that happens to the building.

A co-worker of mine has inherited a house along with 2 other people.He has been doing some work on the house for the past few months to get it up to standards.He thought that during probate he would get his money back.

Although, you were a co-signer, you have stated that she may have known this information but you did not.

The seller and the buyer can be co-insureds, just like a husband and wife, but you don't have to be married to be a co-insured.

Mike does not have his name on the title of the property (assuming he is just a co-signer).

Against my better judgement I rented to a guy who was a friend of a co-worker.

There are some great pocket neighborhoods that I've seen out in the country that retirees built as a co-op, but haven't seen a successful tiny house + pocket neighborhood concept executed personally.

Bryan: Not sure what a co-insurance clause is.

The only way I would is with a co signer parent and a little extra skin in the game a a form of an extra months security deposit.

I'll check with some lenders - but based on my research on the internet - it seems everything is up to the appraiser to deem it as a accessory unit vs. an accessory dwelling vs. a second unit (i seems it might depend on whether there are separate utilities)FWIW: I checked with the town and the apt has a CO - can I assume that it is indeed a legally inhabitable and rentable apt?
