I don't know if you can actually buy a house at the age of 16, not sure if there is any law against that or not, but my brother bought his first house with my guidance at age 18 and made $10k wholesale on a short sale.I think what you could do to start out with is Subject 2 the existing financing.

I had another stay 8 yrs and during that time the brother built a beautiful deck and installed some lovely hardscape - at no cost to me (not even materials).

(I thought I had it sold for certain but the buyer had to drop out due to a family crisis... brother hospitalized with cancer... and he had to drop out because he needed to return to Chicago to deal with this unfortunate event).

I'm a lawyer and I do a lot of plaintiff's work and I can promise you that if there is a lawsuit, owners, managers, everyone and their brothers will get named.

I would avoid that situation because they are basically telling you that they will attempt to hold the deposit if the buyer decides to escape the deal.I typically tell my purchasers that short sales are tough transactions and don't expect the parties on the listing side to behave in any particular manner.

A brother and sister inherited their mothers house and I negotiated a deal right there.

My younger brother will likely be doing some of the general labor around my first rehab project.

so I would assume Property Brothers is staged as well?

I have brothers and friends there who would look in on my projects if need be.
