They cannot be gifted!

Sometimes the best gift a friend can offer is a different way of looking at the same scene. 

It would be considered a "gift" which plenty of Hard Money Lenders allow. 

In the past we have 'sold' properties to our kids & then hold the financing at the current AFR.Admittedly the majority were high income investment properties (rentals/lease to owns etc).We have always documented gifting over the years so they can prove the source of the down payment(s) especially if we them at a Tax Lien auction.

My parents set us up with our first investment buy/hold as a wedding gift, and that is when my journey started at 24.  

Being brand new is a gift and a curse.

The ability to own part of the company (via stock) at market discounts and in some cases, gifted to you for accomplishments, the ability to get our entire $16k broker commission split cap back via stock from performance, and several other financial reasons is what led us down that road.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth....The minimum amount that you can earn as a contractor before having to pay Self Employment tax is $400. 

I am currently in a situation that a young girl who is living here going to school and working has no credit, and her parents gift her a large sum of money every month.
