Texas (and any other state where allowed) is definitely on the table.

Keep in mind, you will be using resources from an investor who should be established and who is placing everything on the table but the property.

I am aware of this type of requirement for NYC co-ops, but co-ops are unique in that you are buying stock in a corporation not actual real estate.

Most title companies have been making their "B" clients in the transaction bring their own $ to the table to close and not letting the "C" clients $ fund the deal to prevent any double close or simultaneous closings due to the HUD laws. 

You have to turn the tables of your thinking.
