<prompt> Human: Here is my scenario. Two of our kids are special needs. One, although high funtioning, likely will not be able to live on her own as an adult. She has a brain disorder the gives her some cognitive and speech issues. She is otherwise a happy and healthy girl.My wife and I always said that if the house next door to us went up for sale we should by it for her to live in independently one day. Its a smaller rental property.Well.. It just went up this past weekend. FISBO.169KIts a good little house in good condition. Sound.The current owner got 1150month.I have virtually no cash available to me.Some equity in my current home, but, not a lot. Exisiting mortgage.The wrinkle... We are in the midst of negotiating a settlement for an accident she had a couple of years ago. the numbers are in the 200K-500K range. That could happen next week, the next year, or the year after that...So my questions...Are there any financing options even open to me to think about buying that house?Any thoughts?EDIT: Forgot to add the wrinkle.  <response>: There are people who will loan you money against a future settlement, but their rates are in kneecapper territory. I would try your credit union, your family, just about anything else first.
