Once they step on the oven door, the BOILING hot pot will spill all over your poor child's head giving them 3rd degree burns that will require skin grafts if it doesn't kill them".  

My sister and parents in Denton, Denton County have seen their property taxes go up 20%, 40% and 50% the past three years.

I'd rather not ask my parents or family members to co-sign eitherSo the question is what would you do and recommend in my situation

But, many times the children do not want their parents' name dragged through the mud of foreclosure lawsuits or foreclosure notices, and are also fearful that it might affect their inheritance in any other assets, such as cash or other real estate. 

I promised that we would not build a new home; the home was his parent's, he wanted it to stay What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Something I recently spoke to my wife about is the chance that her parents (who are also semi-retired) might be interested in contributing in some way to this endeavor if it made some financial sense.

I sold that and moved in with my parents.

A "reorganization took place, one of the families left the group in exchange for the insurance proceeds and the property then had 4 owners (and 4 cottages)2000:  I bought ($42,000) my parent's share.2000-2010:  I bought the other shareholder's shares (total $300,000), leaving just me as the sole shareholder2017:  Elected to file as S corp.None of these transactions were properly recorded.2022 1120S tax return (2023 is on extension) shows:$0 income$15,000 Land (sched L, line 12)$122k Loans from me($189K) Retained earning$93K cap stock($46k) Sched m-2I have no idea how we got to these amounts.Does any of this make things easier to understand and easier to get me out of this capital gains problem (or does it just muddy things even more)?

I do however have a decent sum of money in savings for a down payment as well as would be able to get a parent as a cosigner on the loan to help with income if needed.
