• Can I buy a house and have someone else pay the mortgage?

  I'm thinking of buying a house for an aging parent. If I put the loan in my name, could my parent pay the monthly mortgage or a portion of the income? I want to help my parent, but I don't want it to appear as income on my taxes or be penalized for trying to help.
