Probably. A cousin would be considered an acceptable family relation for gifting purposes. Please make sure you consult with your Mortgage originator BEFORE any funds are actually transferred. There are specific steps and documentation requirements for a gift to be useable. You do not want to jump the gun and then discover that the way the gift was provided excludes you from using it. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z Team of NEXA Mortgage ~ NMLS 40586 ~ At NEXA, we've got you covered.
