The whole point in having a notary involved is that the process itself authenticates the document and confirms the signer. 

Good news is we still have Texas veterans land board loans available.

Documenting and pushing concerns raised over health and safety issues is also a classic leverage-move played by scam artist tenants.I'm not saying the tenant's concern is unfounded, but tenants asking for over-the-top precautions is going to add substantially to your costs and timeline.    

Hey @Sean SloopIt's in your best interest to have your relative having their relative equity documented on the property or LLC.From an IRS perspective, suppose you both contribute $10k and there's a total profit of $14k ($7k each).

Just make sure your documents are extremely well drafted and everyone knows exactly what they are getting into. 

It's not a number of loans question, it's a question of how much $$entitlement$$ you have left.Examples here, direct from va.gov with no advertising or any of that: https://www.benefits.va.gov/HOMELOANS/documents/docs/guaranty_calculation_examples.pdf

Is there any legal documents I should have them sign if they approve of my tenants or would just an email with approval suffice?

I would suggest though that you spend some money on a good real estate attorney and have him draw the documents up, meaning the note and the deed of trust. 

Plan on also providing all lease documents to the buyer as well.
