With Stricter mortgage underwriting standards, higher unemployment, and heavy student debt, it's making it hard for the age 20 - 30 potential buyers to buy a home. But they may be able to get help from family, friends or relatives with more creative techniques for their financing:
- 27 percent of first-time buyers in 2013 received gift money from relatives to help defray the down payment and closing costs.
- With professional help, some family or relatives provided either second mortgages or first mortgages, and when properly structured, these loans provide higher returns (than bank deposits) to family or relatives.
