Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Purchasing home from parents
My parents have a mortgage on a town home which they currently live in. They decided to buy a mobile home because my dad is retiring and wants to lower his expenses. Anyway, they offered to let us take over the town home and continue paying the mortgage. I�ve been over the different ways this can be done and have come to the conclusion that the best way would be to just get a home loan and buy the property directly from him (which he is okay with) at what he currently owes on the mortgage, which is $295,000. My question is, would this be the best way to do it or am I missing something?
