Here's the thing, I'm getting ready to turn 21 in a month and I've only got less than 1 year or credit history. My dad wants me to "buy" our family house (which we just finished building) so that we don't loose the house (they can't afford it as of now). He says that he knows someone that can get me the loan (for 500 freaking K) and that they will be paying all the bills.
I am getting married in spring 09 and my dad is going on disability in a few months. this house is sitting on an acre lot, he wants to have the house on my name for a while until it builds up some equity (that's gonna be hard since we are in Sacramento, CA right near the epicenter of the housing collapse) and then split the land using the equity money and build another house that will also be in my name and then only God knows what he will want to do afterwords!
I don't want to forsake my family and not go through with it but holly crap this is extremely risky and possibly illegal. If I can get the loan and my parents are not able to pay it then my wife(to be) and I are royally F#@&#D sideways in the a$$ but if all goes well then we wont make much off of anything since my dad is gonna want compensation along with a new car and anything we owe the bank(s).
so, what do ya say? should I go full steam ahead or graciously bow out?
Thanks for all answers!!!
God Bless =)
