The problem is that even though I can co-sign with my parents and get a property that costs a lot more (by myself I’m looking at 330k loan), a typical duplex that still needs repairs on Zillow or another house buying platform costs around 500k, and my bank said that I can’t use an FHA load on a multi family home because of liability issues so the minimum I can put down in 15%, which is 75k.....that’s a lot of money.

My parents still have money saved in a 529 plan for me and I saw that they can use that for mortgage payments, but I am wondering if that can be used for the down payment (if I am still a student at the time). 

We virtually always get parent co-signers since few students can qualify even with student loan funds.

Most houses that fit our family's size (4 bedroom/2 bath) are going for between $250K-$300K, but market rents for houses that size seem to be closer to the $1,700 range.I'm a little afraid of the BRRR method right now, because I have a young child, and another one on the way. 

If it's a good reason and verifiable, their car engine just gave out, their parent just died etc. create a payment plan.

Really just the local to the wife's parents.

@Juliette LernerIf you did not hire your accountant, is this an accountant that your parents used that you also decided to go with?

I moved all the time growing up, her parents have multi-generational property and will never move.

Or my parents?
