How are 4 teenagers going to qualify for a mortgage?

I'm not sure, I was hoping to find that out in this question. What exactly do you need to qualify for a mortgage and I've read about LLCs would making one help us with this idea?

You need a credit history, good credit score, and a history of regular income that proves your ability to pay the mortgage.

You can use your parents to help with that, correct? (the credit history part)

Your parents could collectively buy a house. Now all of them have to align on rental property decisions.

I honestly don't see that working.

I don't see any of this working out. There are just too many moving pieces. Renting is ideal even though it's more expensive. You're paying for the luxury of flexibility and freedom. At this point in your life, that is what is most important. Don't tie yourself down to anything.

No you cannot. The parents would also have to be added to the loan. I have seen parents buy a house in a college town for their kids to use while in school. I’m fact my parents did that when my brother went to school. But my brother wasn’t on the loan due to lack of qualifying income, credit history, etc.

Just being honest I don’t see it happening… I do not work with/for or deal with mortgages but I do know that a joint mortgage is generally frowned upon by most lenders and ALL names on the mortgage must qualify.

I would assume not one of you has a steady income and credit currently to be able to be approved solely
