Additionally you are more "secured" from lawsuits when you have liens on property you own.

@Erick Harbert  you should actually talk with a securities attorney... there are a lot of rules and its much more complicated than just writing an agreement and getting insurance.and putting partners names on deeds is probably not what you want either. 

In my experience, all cash purchases, no financing, except for some Canadians who are able to secure lending in Canada for U.S. property.

The owner is retired and lives off her social security check which isn't much.

This will lower the mortgage amount, potentially making it more possible for you to secure a loan.

If you are soliciting investors, you will need a securities lawyer to prepare the proper documents to ensure you are exempt under Rule 506 of Section D of the Securities Act.

However, she is now having buyer's remorse and wants out of the deal (she realizes it is not right for her kids now).So, is there a way I can come in and secure the property as an investor with the same terms she has as an owner occupied purchaser.
