Buying or Selling a Home/sell half of my house

Advertisement


Question
Will any Housing Associations buy a share in your house and if so how would I find out about it?

Answer
I TERESA--

Whoever you sent these questions to must have rejected them & forwarded them to the QUESTION POOL.Even though the answers aren't what you'll want to hear, I think you DESERVE a rely!  

I really DOUBT that any Housing Associations would be interested in buying "half your house" OR
even " a share in our house!"

And I have NO IDEA how you'd find out about such a posibility.

I guess I'm not much of an "All-Expert am I"

Oh.why don't you find a Realtor  who works with RE Investors? He/she may want to become a CO-BORROWER with you. That might work!

GOOD LUCK!
