There are several ways to structure these deals, but to be in compliance with current regulations and to be very fair and clear to all parties involved, your terminology and the clauses of your agreements actually matter. 

Many first time home buyers are now forced to postpone the decision of buying a home or settle for a smaller home because of recent federal government's mortgage rules  But that has created additional demand for rental units. 

I'm a Marine Corps veteran and currently serving a Government Contract overseas.

@Jessie Wells, I would say check out the rules and regulations and see how much of an impact that would have on the investment (paying taxes, etc.)

I'm kinda lost here but i wanna do good in real estate can anyone point me to the rite direction in investing. i also heard that theres a couple programs that the government helps first time home buyers to buy there first homes with no money down if you have money saved tho??

But the government will never completely get rid of all social nets.

Millions of dollars will come back from overseas, jobs will increase Dodd---Frank and over regulated loan and banking laws will be thrown out .What is not to like if your are real estate investor ?

I get real estate goes up in value, etc. but man, sometimes I look at the money I spend in transaction costs buying and selling, contractors for repairs, tenant maintenance, excise taxes, other taxes, taxes ON the taxes that I'm the governments sucker propping up the economy.Take my primary residence for instance.

The BP site is wonderful for general advice and for expert opinion on US rules and regulations, but not for overseas laws.
