Otherwise, you may have to make a larger down payment.The FHA considers the following relations to be family members:Child, parent, or grandparentStep-parent or step-grandparentFoster parent or foster grandparentSpouseDomestic partnerAdopted childFoster childBrother, step-brotherSister, step-sisterAunt or uncleSon-in-law, daughter-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-lawIf the non-occupying co-borrower isn’t a family member, you’ll have to make a larger down payment.

My perspective is that one must define the scope of the risk they are talking about to have a meaningful conversation about it. 

Just another way to handle the gifting, and it doesn't use any of your lifetime limit.Yes, @Dave Foster did this already, but just for himself. 

(I do not wholesale but I would imagine this means activities that develop meaningful relationships with other buyers that have the ability to close, and on activities that put you in front of sellers.)4.

I don't have data on ownership breakdowns, but I expect many of those owners do not have sufficient reserves to carry their debt for any meaningful period without revenue.

I avoid that era of house, unless it has had some meaningful renovation:  Updated electric, plumbing, hvac, windows and exterior work.In conclusion, out of state investors should not be buying class C properties. 

This is not a political statement, this is just pure fact: Progressive policies have completely failed and until they stop implementing them or until the voters stop electing the same type politicians, there will be no meaningful change.Let's stop talking about building shelters.

I am not the enemy, the city council is and you need to stay focused and do something meaningful about them.I held multiple properties in Seattle for 20 years, had to fight to hold onto what I had and over the years it has just gotten worse and worse.

Belief that your purpose is meaningful and attainable!

@Dave Foster yes.
