In my experience, neither of these is the case with current FHA regulation...I've seen plenty of buyers get gift funds and still only put 3.5% down.

Cool idea Travis.One thing you might want to look into is the schools rules & regulations.

I agree, I'm not touching a regulated field without consulting a lawyer.I'm also not bothering with a lawyer unless the market exists.

All the more reason anybody raising capital for any reason needs to check securities regulations with a lawyer experienced in securities regulation in the state their operating in.

Check with the government agency in your state that regulates landlord tenant issues.

I'm sooo tired of regulations that really are just so much nonsense to an ethical person.

I would recommend reading and becoming very failure with the laws and regulations of all three "states."

Or are most of these regulations just ignored during most transactions?

Gene, as for the laws in Texas.

I didn't think many buyers still consider a lease to own as an option anymore, and there are a ton of new regulations surrounding this practice that is making it even more unattractive for both buyers and sellers...
