That's not a bad idea, resolution is nearly irrelevant in what I want.

Leveraging a HELOC, private money or hard money are just a few ideas that come to mind.

I realize there are a lot of details that go into the mortgage decision process for the lender that I couldn't include in here, but just looking for some general/creative ideas of ways that things  could be structured with a lender to make something like this work.tia,-Rob

You would need to be on title for 6 months to do this but that's the idea that I would recommend.  

We kind of putted the idea around for awhile.  

The Biggerpockets analysis tools are pretty solid as well, definitely check them out for ideas.

Please post here or feel free to contact me directly as I'm always willing to swap thoughts/ideas, thanks!

I thought it was a great idea.

@Andrew Brewer I know this is possibly irrelevant but maybe it will be a good idea to compare what prices are state-to-state, but in NJ if you want something with nice finishes... $150/sqft... if you want something with "ehhh" finishes then you can probably get down to like 100-125/sqft depending obviously on how much work you give your guys and what kind of relationship you have with them.

So my grandmother is 80 years old and just stopped working officially last week.She owns a home and stills pays a mortgage on the property and since shes no longer working,does not have the means to pay her mortgage any more.I currently live with her and told her i wouldnt mind paying the full mortgage costs and all the bills that entail in owning a home but i would like to be a co-owner and when she passes the sole owner of the property.The house has been appraised at around 400 thousand and she owes currently about 225 thousand.I wanna know what options i have that maybe i havent heard of or seen,any insight or ideas are greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,Alex.
