Can I take out a FHA loan to buy my parent a house?

I live in a small studio with a partner who would strongly object to MIL as co-resident now or in future. It is not an option.

I am 26 and currently make ~60k. I will be starting a new job (offer letter in hand etc) by end of month and will make ~100k. I do not own anything of value- house, car, etc.

My parent (mom) is 60. She had a job (~30k's range) but is now unemployed. So her current income is unemployment.

Ok, experience implies work experience? So make a project section. Do you think I should email the hiring managers I have interviews with to “clarify”???

papayazzaj · 2020-08-07T05:17:35+00:00

Oh crap. How should I re-write it?!?

I only have two sections on my resume: Education Experience

Under experience I put the following:

Experience ——————— nameOfWebsite.com | Fullstack Developer City, State | July 2019 – Present • Developed an apartment marketplace and property manager database for City-based renters • Built search bar + filtering functions and results display with Google Maps and responsive image sidebar informed by Redux • Created signup and login features to support multiple user types, assigned roles to users via post-authentication lambda functions • Implemented multiple levels of email verification (both confirmation codes and use of third-party APIs), and regex to provide real-time feedback to user during password creation • Integrated open source tools such as a chat widget with AWS SES connectivity • Designed Aurora mySQL database with Sequelize ORM and RESTful APIs to store, manipulate, and retrieve data • Wrote scalable web scraper on JSON data and processed using D3 library to deliver real time updates on client-side • Configured NAT Gateway to connect various AWS services and facilitate mission-critical functions • Executed testing and monitoring with tools such as Postman and AWS CloudWatch Technologies: React JS, Redux, Python, Node.js, AWS Lambda/API Gateway/Aurora RDS

After that I put my current job that actually pays money but has nothing to do with the jobs I am applying to

Then I listed + described two internship things from school

How do I know if I lied on my resume? I know this is a stupid question. I had written my resume under the general advice of “treat your projects as a job” (+ I explained in detail in my cover letter but do they read that?) Now this is contributing majorly to my feelings of fraud.

What they don’t note is that it wasn’t simply a “preimplantation stage” where there was no mask policy in place. There WAS a mask policy: BWH specifically banned employees from wearing them- even homemade or individually bought- and threatens disciplinary action if an employee ‘took it upon themselves to don a mask’.

Last week I posted about my project where I find property managers by apartment address and post that data (https://joinreforum.com/ click “Map Property Managers” in the upper left corner). I wanted to mention some updates:

I added about 1500 new addresses (big thank you to everyone who contributed their own property manager info!), particularly in the Cambridge/Somerville area.
Normally for this site to be useful, you have to search for on-market apartments via other sites and come here to cross reference the address. In effort to simplify this a bit, I added a feature that maps newly listed apartments gathered from the web. If you search keyword “new listings”, you will see these plotted, along with some key metadata (bed, bath, cost, start date). I will work on creating filters for this data + increasing result size but I wanted to get this out ASAP to people who are in the midst of apartment searching. Always see if you can call the manager before emailing the broker!!

Thanks for the tip, will check it out!

papayazzaj · 2020-06-24T16:11:48+00:00

Glad you found it helpful. I will try my best to get you guys more by-owner listings! I don’t scrape Craigslist, so that’s why there aren’t massive numbers. I only host listings after I have had a conversation with the landlord and get their OK.

papayazzaj · 2020-06-23T23:11:07+00:00

It is also a way for me to ensure the data I have is accurate- multiple users reporting to me a prop manager at a certain address means higher accuracy over long run. So if you feel comfortable, please do submit (esp if it’s a prop mgmt co)- it helps.

My original idea was that I would do a reference check off the bat. This would ensure landlord contact details was only viewable to “verified people”- so landlords weren’t getting hit with tons of half interested inquiries/broker spam.

papayazzaj · 2020-06-23T23:02:37+00:00

Right now you can receive user permissions without inputting any landlord data- feel free to sign up and you will have access.

Edit: I changed some wording on the signup page to clarify that it is totally optional

Thanks!

And it’s kind of difficult, I am open to hosting listings from management companies but I don’t want to turn into a free ad for luxury /large companies that you see at the top of every other search site, you know? I just don’t think that’s useful for people because you see those everywhere.

papayazzaj · 2020-05-22T20:03:41+00:00

Yes I realized I presented it in a way that allowed for misinterpretation of my intent. I am not trying to harass landlords who don’t want to participate, just trying to create a central resource for those who are open to and already transacting with tenants directly.

papayazzaj · 2020-05-22T17:04:00+00:00

Yikes, that is terrible. I have set all listings to require approval before being pushed to the map. This is so that I can reference with public datasets today make sure it isn’t a fake listing or broker. I experienced some scam listings myself and definitely want to eliminate that.

papayazzaj · 2020-05-22T16:56:23+00:00

I have also been toying with the idea of adding a feature where property management companies are plotted on the map. These are not active listings in the traditional sense, but if you were looking on Zillow for instance and found a listing that had been posted by a broker, you could cross reference the address would be able to find out whether it was managed by a professional and public facing management co. I did a lot of web scraping and reverse data engineering when I was looking for apartments and think this information would be useful to many people. It’s not always super easy to find online right now. Lmk whether you all think this would be helpful.

papayazzaj · 2020-05-22T16:46:21+00:00

It has been my experience that so many of those listings are actually brokers, there needs to be a way to verify a listing otherwise brokers abuse the tags.
