If you - cloud the title with a memorandum of contract, seller-owner can not remortgage or sell- use a payment collection co to collect money from tenant buyer to lender and insurance and taxes- use a land trustTheres nothing guaranteed in REI, but these steps can help keep some control 

If you built the garages, installed the pool, etc without permits and inspections, you'll have many more problems with getting those passed by your township than you may think.The solution I would recommend is to have your parents refi, put the property into a trust, you can be a co-beneficiary, and when you can afford, give them whatever money you have agreed to and have them quit claim their beneficial interest in the trust to you.I am a realtor, not an attorney, so please seek out a qualified attorney to get you set up.
