IMO buy one yourself. When my Grandfather passed away he left his house to my aunt and dad. I lived on the lower level my cousin on the upper. When my cousin went to move out all hell broke loose.
Keep it simple and don’t get other people tied in to it.

You will never have a “how I got screwed by my friend” story by buying it yourself. Why risk it with one of the largest purchases you’ll ever make?

I’m not reading 3 pages to tell you what I"m sure everyone is saying… BAD IDEA… NEVER EVER mix money/business with friends/family. It will end up in a lawsuit or worse.

Bad Idea.
Buy the house yourself then rent the space to your friend (they pay the mortgage) - profit.
