Golden Gate’s Ageno School Professor Offers Advice to First Time Home Buyers

Mary Canning, dean emeritus of Golden Gate University’s School of Taxation and Accounting, was recently interviewed for a Wall Street Journal article that offered advice to first time home buyers who are considering having their parents co-sign on a mortgage.
An additional option noted in the article is that of an investment-property mortgage, in which, for example, parents can buy a multi-family residence and rent one unit to a child while generating income from renting the other units in order to cover mortgage payments.
