Future first time home buying, would it be affected by a family member putting my name on the deed to their house?

Both my family member and I live in Arizona, and I was considering buying a home in the next few years with assistance from a first time home buyer program. The relative is putting together their will and recently asked me if they could put my name on the deed to their house in the event that something were to happen to them, it would be easier for division of assets. If my name is on their deed, would it affect my eligibility to purchase a home at all since my name wouldn’t be on their mortgage, just on their deed?

Sorry and thank you in advance, I know absolutely nothing about real estate!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
