I’m interested in giving my son a house downpayment gift via setting up a trust for him to use. How would the title be stated to keep the trust dollar downpayment investment protected from any future divorce settleme...

My wife keeps telling me about a $0 down payment loan option that she’s been hearing about where if you can show that the rent will be greater than the mortgage, this type of loan will require $0 down or lower than the 20/25% requirement. 

This will give you such an edge on getting deals flowing to you and people working FOR you!

I know the big thing would be to factor that full heloc payment into your carrying costs equation. 

Ultimately this is what theyve offeredPurchase price $250kDown Payment $5kMonthly payment $100010 Year balloon payment.They will cover all property expenses including taxes.They want tenants gone within 30 days.I still owe $146k on the property.

can i invest in a property with a down payment?

Sounds to be like "burn-out" on single family homes, I'd rather have 3 houses than 6 apartments any day (comparable properties), from just about all aspects, financing, liquidity, marketability, vacancy, insurance and time to manage, residential SFDs edge out small multi family in my book.

The reason they have left was only the cut but I'm willing to take a little less as I learn and decide later if my priorities change.

This includes allowing the seller to foreclose on myself and my team should we ever fall behind in payments, which we will not.

You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.
