Can you crowdsource buying a house?

I read some of them but unless I know them or someone I trust knows them I wouldn't donate. Anyone can get a picture of an injured dog or burned out house and claim they had a disaster.

A house is something that you need to save for or every homeless person would ask for one. Even if you gave someone a house they wouldn't value it like they had saved and planned and dreamed for it.

I would help out family if I knew they were doing the right things. My niece and her husband gave up smoking to save money for a house and trying to figure out how to get one. They wanted a FHA loan at 3.5% down so I gave them 7K telling them it was 3.5% of 200K. This jump started their savings and a year later they found a house. If the couldn't save the closing cost and the rest of the down payment they aren't ready to own a home.

Now my cousin needs a house, the house she rents is being sold. She has dogs so needs a house but she is over 50 and has a good job and hasn't bothered to save a down payment, she isn't ready to own. I wouldn't give her money.

Sure, you can crowdsource anything you want. But no, I would not give anyone a dime to buy a house. I've donated to very sick people and to a first-time filmmaker working on an informational documentary but that's it. If someone wants to buy a house, that's fine, but they won't get any money from me. I'll put it into my own house.

Technically you could try and crowdsource it.

Realistically no-one is going to give you money to buy a house.

Can you? You can try. Will you succeed? No. Most of us are not willing to fund some stranger's house. You will look like a greedy jerk.

don't include me in your 'crowd'

my husband suffered great pain for the down payment on our house and there is no way I would help anyone else who was not willing to put their back into getting into their own house

smelly, raggidy bums wit a cardboard sign beg everyday.....if you a bum with a clean shave and clean cloths and lie and say you need money for a cab, you will make far moremoney....say it on 60 minutes....last time I gave was when a friendly guy had a sign that said ''why lie, need beer.....was standing right in front of a titty bar

You can beg for money for anything you want but why would anyone give you money?

Sure, you can crowdsource anything you want.

No.
