I cosigned my daughters loan. The house is now rented out because it didn't sell (icky market) and my daughter needs to live closer to her work. Renting is more expensive than buying, but to buy doesn't she have to unload the mortgage she now has? If that is so, is it possible for me to buy her home without closing costs? Can it be signed over to me?
What are her options?

Thanks,
Caridawn

Caridawn, you could certainly purchase the home from her - closing costs are inevitable. There has to be a transfer of title, so fees pertaining to that would be payable; there are always recording fees, and a smattering of other costs.

It's not an absolute that she'd need to unload the mortgage, though it clearly would need to be paid on a continuing basis one way or the other. If the tenant is a good one and the rental income covers (or mostly covers) the regular payment, then status quo could easily be maintained, I'd have to think.

Are you truly worried about the situation, or just checking into what might need to be done?
