I did a partial related party 1031 in 2010 where I exchanged a property of Value X for a 50% interest in another property of Value 2X, this combined with a gifting of the other 50% interest.

I also let them know via email or maybe a small gift card when I WONT be raising rates even though the power co did... gives you a chance to recoup a loss for idiots who leave taps on or don’t report a leaky toilet and also gives you a chance yo remind them you’re eating an increase that as a homeowner they would be required to pay.

@Federico Morales I think you answered your own question, you were gifted a million dollar property for $320,000.

But what an awesome gift he has left for you to steward for your family!

. :-)  It sounds then like realtors (under NAR, etc. guidelines, nationwide...) are likely 'unclear' about a "non- transaction" (and that clause clearly only refers to "commission sharing" in reference to actual "under contract" clientele) and likewise my either 'promising' or 'gifting' (in effect) money or perks to someone who 'refers' a potential client they can't work with presently (when I can help that person, who may then become a RE brokerage and/or mortgage, etc. client later on, when they resell, or perhaps refer others they know, if the agent(s) HELPED THEM OUT) doesn't even seem 'grey area' to me, unless there's more 'legalese' (statues, legal precedent, case law???)

Little do they know the horror that awaits them with entitled agents that think they are the gift to the industry. 

They will want to know where the money came from and why they are lending/gifting it to you.

Hi Stanley,She should be able to transfer title via a Quit-Claim Deed as a gift.  

Can I give her the money as a gift or does the down payment need to come from her personal sources of income?

If your approach is something I had not considered and end up pursuing, I'll hook you up with a $50 Amazon gift card as my thank you.
