It is not a good idea to buy a house together with anyone if you are not married or don’t have a formal business agreement. For every one success story there seem to be a dozen disasters.
You may say, but we are engaged and in love, it will work out for us. That is what the couple who was engaged and living together said too, before they they sent me an email that said help, get me out of this situation.
No one will change my mind, they have tried. I would never advise a couple or even friends to buy a house together unless they are either married or have a formal business agreement with an exit strategy.
Completely agree! To go a step further, even if you’re about to get married, I think you should wait another year or so after that to just settle in, learn one another, and make a good decision. Doesn’t seem to happen that often however…
Josh I agree 100%!
