What should I consider before buying a home with my boyfriend?

Answer by  tamarawilhite (17883)

1. If trying to get financing, they use the lower credit score of the two of you. 2. You do not have the legal rights of spouses. You'll have to split equity when you sell. 3. Get your name on the deed as well as the mortgage.

Make sure you really want to live with the person before buying a house together. Live together first and if you have any doubts, don't do it.

Be sure that you and your boyfriend are in a very stable and serious relationship before you buy a home together. Unloading a home in this market can be very difficult and you don't want to be stuck with a home if you break up.
