However, it may be possible that you and your mother obtain a loan together, but you claim it on taxes. 

@Dustin Mathenia @Dennis M.Some years ago when my grandfather died, my mother inherited a mill house in a very small town 40 minutes southeast of Montgomery.

(I am originally from Ohio and my mother is a retired school administrator.)Your point is taken, though.

I was (and still am) a Labor and Delivery nurse.   

Hi all-I purchased a condominium in Scottsdale, AZ almost 4 years ago for $65,000 with my mother's estate money.

The husband had just lost his mother when they moved in.

I should mention that between my mother and I we have flipped about 25 houses (most work completed by us) all in the 300k+ price range (which is above average homes in Texas).  

My girlfriend will be finished with nursing school in May, and my thinking is I rent it out for a year, take all the money I gain from it and start saving for a down payment for another home in a year or 2 for the two of us?

About 12 years ago I had the opportunity to buy my childhood home from my mother for a great price on a sort of mother/son handshake deal.
