I currently am renting a house that I would really want to retire in. I can’t afford to offer what the market value is, so I’m wanting to see if they would consider me buying 50% and I would handle all responsibilitie...

There are a few work-arounds, like getting an ownership interest in the property, but those are all a bit taboo as well. 

@Nikola Magdelinic, change of ownership doesn't mean the code violations disappear.

How can I take ownership of this property while getting my grandmother the money she wants / needs to secure her for the final years of her life.

Just a commodities investor who's reaping the added benefits of real property ownership (debt paydown, depreciation, leverage, higher yield)

All the fees were waved for veterans and if it's a 50/50 split in ownership the whole thing can be done through the Department of State on your computer.

This is true even under the TCJA, with the reduced C Corp tax rate and assuming the business is a "Specified Service Trade or Business" the owner is phased out of the 20% QBID (i.e. the worst case scenario for an S Corp under the TCJA).I find C Corps only make sense in very limited fact and goal patterns (e.g. foreign ownership, when a company is anticipating going public, and/or when owners want heavy fringe benefits).Don't forget you get taxed when you extract capital from a C Corp -- either via salary or dividends. 

Hi @Chris Desmond,Down payment assistance is an avenue that will help achieve your goal of home ownership.

Specifically it is a violation of real estate agency law for the person doing the management because to perform PM activities for a property in which you have no ownership interest is something that requires a license.So, in order to do that above board you'd need to give that person an ownership interest or directly employ them.
