quote:

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.
