If he would carry a small part of the mortgage, you might be able to get a lender to finance the rest (this is tough.)3.)

It appears getting him a loan without you cosigning will be tough, especially since he has no experience doing a rental business.

It's beyond the scope of my skills to value it based on development (thus the post) so it's a bit tough to tell him confidently how much more it will potentially be worth after appraisal.Bill Gulley - Thanks I will check out your other post.
