Welcome to BiggerPockets.  

You will find on many blogs and forums that the vast majority of people in the know would highly recommend that you do not get involved with renting to friends or family. It always stresses relationships and seldom makes you money.  

If you are interested in getting into the real estate game, do it on more relaxed terms. It doesn't turn out well for those who are getting pushed into it for some reason, whether it be for a family member or for one's own financial conundrum.  Get your first investment property after doing plenty of study and analyzing properties for cash flow, or appreciation, or after repair value, or whatever you are looking for depending upon which side of Real estate you're interested in. 

Don't buy a property in a hurry in order to help someone in a desperate situation, or you are only going to take that desperate situation and put it on yourself. 

Perhaps there's some other way to help.
