I would speak with a local Lender, they can often tell you which way would be more beneficial. And as the other answer indicates, there may be some things to consider.

That would be a better questions for a mortgage lender. They would be able to tell you how much of a house he qualifies to buy, and that can determine whether or not he should add you to the loan. Just know, there is a little bit of risk because both of you will be liable for making the payments, even if you no longer live together a couple years down the road.

  • If I sell my home, will my boyfriend receive part of the sale?

    I wanted some clarification before deciding to put my home on the market. My boyfriend and I purchased a home together several years ago. We split up so he signed a quitclaim deed but is obviously still on the loan. If I want to sell my home that I have been making payments on myself for the last 8 years. Does he need to sign anything and would he be entitled to any of the sale money?
