How have some of you defined and documented an interest in the borrower when a friend is providing a gift to a borrower for an FHA

Write a letter explaining the relationship. Such as, how long you have had this relationship, High School Friends, College, Military etc. This way the underwriter understands why someone other than the family giving money, instead of loaning them the money. You would document the funds with bank statements. 2 months, showing where the money has come from.

You simply write a letter.. "To Whom It May Concern" and explain how long you have known that person, did you go to school together, work together, lived in the same neighborhood growing up, etc.. The donor will need to sign a letter stating it's truly a gift and that there are no repayment terms.. and the donor will have to provide a bank statement showing they have the funds liquid to give to the borrower..
