The same applies for signing your share of a property over. So if you cosign with your kid, and want to "gift" your share of the house to them, the kid now has to "qualify" for their portion of the morgage, as well as your portion before you can gift your share of the house to them. I know this to be true, because my parents are stuck in a mortgage with me because I can't qualify to carry the whole mortgage.

not sure if this is the case as my property was "sold" to me for a dollar and I had to do nothing in terms of being able to carry the mortgage, mind you I was always paying the mortgage in the first place, the property was just in my parents name
