I recently closed a refinance for a couple whose parents provided the funds for them to buy a home all-cash. Why? In today's market, this made their offer much more attractive to the sellers, since they could close quickly and without any loan or appraisal contingencies. After closing, I was able to assist them with a refinance to recoup funds to repay their parents. A total win-win. The article in today's Wall Street Journal details exactly the same scenario, and how many younger couples are getting this same assistance from their parents. go to: www.wsj.com
