Investors & landlords

Thank you for your response.  I do think I will contact a tax attorney.  Is there an option to treat it as a second house and not as a rental?  I don't think I can give the house away because the person can't take the loan as they would not qualify due to their age/not working, etc.  The loan will still have to be in my name so I assume the bank will want the house in my name as well, right?  I feel like it's not a gift since they paid for all expenses from the start.  They have paid for everything.  Does this change anything?  I appreciate your help, I have been so confused as to what to do with this.
