If they would pitch in for a down payment, you could always take the "loan" from them.

That way you avoid all the negatives, and still get to call it your own.



They'll look at his bank statements when he applies for the loan. If he suddenly has a few thousand unexplainable dollars show up, then it won't be applicable to the mortgage unless he applies for an FHA loan. I believe it is the only loan program allowing gifts (or "loans") to be used as a down payment.

That's not true.

ETA: They will ask him to fill out a gifting document that his parents will have to sign stating there are no contractual rights to the gifted monies, ie that its a true gift and they don't have any legal right to repayment.
