However, for a conventional loan and MOST DSCR programs you cannot use gift funds for an investment property. and finally, if you have the cash or if you bring your mother on the application so you an use her cash, your pricing will be much better if you put down 25% instead of the 20%. 

There was some sort of State rental assistance, I think, for unwed pregnant mothers.

I have heard of landlords having success marketing to traveling nurses and to State Department staff returning from posts abroad (I believe they receive a generous stipend for housing as they transition back to the U.S.).

We are hoping to start investing in real estate while hopefully also getting my mom a new place, but if that doesnt make financial sense then we will just get a rental property somewhere else Have you thought of building an ADU for your mother?

When I move out, I plan to give my side of the duplex to my mother as she plans to retire soon and I don't want her to have to worry about how she's going to afford rent.

The traveling nurse industry is strong here and looks to be underserved from my perspective.I hope this helps!

Hi I have a rental house on furnished finder and have rented to travel nurses before but I now have someone interested in booking the house for a 3 month stay for his aunt and her son as they are traveling to the USA from china.

Hey Alex, From what I am seeing and hearing from the agents/investors that I work with, a lot of investors who own properties are starting to transition from LTR to MTR/STR model, and housing professionals/nurses + the occasional booking on Airbnb/VRBO.  

We guided the mother-son team through making an offer on a short sale, a process that took almost a year but was well worth it.

My wonderful wife is a Nurse Practitioner, and we live in Katonah, NY.
