Buying an apartment building from father ( no mortgage on apartment building)
I have a question that I hope you can help me with or at least point me in the right direction to get the required information.
My father is 86 and currently owns a single family home ( where he resides) and owns a 4 family apartment building ( No mortgage) . He no longer wants to deal with the apartment building. He wants to sell me the apartment house for appraised value. I would pay him monthly payments for 15 years until the house is paid off ( I guess you could call this a reverse mortgage type situation).
1. He would claim the monthly payments as income
2. I would claim the payments to him as costs to run the apartment building, along with taxes, repairs, etc.
Is this legal/allowable?
Of course we would get a lawyer to draw up an agreement and in the case of death, the balance of house value would be added to his current trust.
Thanks,
