   The same question was posted on my hub, so here is the same answer:
   
   Mezzhere,
   
   Your friend doesn't need credit to do this because you don't ask the bank's permission first. You just sign the deed over to her and she starts making the payments. Of course, you'll need to make sure the deed states that she is responsible for the payments on the loan in case any issues arise.
   
   Here is a form you might be able to use:  http://www.ilrg.com/forms/warrantydeed-debt.html
   
   And here is some more information about subject-to real estate. There is a free signup, but I'm not sure how much information they give without having to buy something: http://www.getthedeed.com
   
   The main things you should think about before doing this are: 1) If she doesn't pay, you credit will be screwed (but it will be anyhow if the house goes into foreclosure), and 2) If she doesn't pay, your friendship will probably be destroyed over this real estate deal.
