Imagine your family needs a house, but can't get a loan! The Family Opportunity Mortgage (FOM) helps. It lets someone buy a house for a parent or adult child who can't get a mortgage on their own.
- You buy the house, but your family member lives there.
- It's like a regular home loan, but with a twist: the owner and the person living in the house are different.
- You need good credit (around 620) and enough income to pay the mortgage.

This helps families, but be careful! Paying for two homes can be tough. It's important to be able to afford both the new house and your own home.
