My name is Tes and I'm looking for some advice or guidance on how to properly structure a gift of equity for two homes I'm purchasing directly from my parents.Here are a few details:- There are two properties -- one in Raleigh, NC and the other in Jacksonville, NC.- Both homes are currently owned by my parents and I'll be purchasing directly from them.- These will be investment properties, not primary residences, as I currently live in San Francisco, CA.- I've already started the pre-approval process with a credit union based in North Carolina, but I'd love some help understanding how to structure the gift of equity correctly for investment properties, what documentation may be required, and if there are any specific limitations or tax implications I should consider.- My goal is to close on both homes by the end of the year or early next year.If anyone has experience with gift of equity transactions for invest properties -- especially in North Carolina or involving out-of-state buyers -- or can recommend a loan officer, lender, or real estate attorney familiar with this setup, I'd really appreciate your insight.Thanks in advance!
