Lets assume you meet mr. right and you now have that critical joint-checking account… at some point in the future your new husband wants to settle down and buy a house, since you state that you will NEVER buy a house with a man again, how does this proceed?
1) Buy adjoining condos, or a duplex, using money from your separate accounts & knock out a common wall.
2) Use his accounts to secure the loan, but make sure the deed is joint-tentants…
If he already owns a house, do you require joint ownership, is this a “deal-breaker” too, and if so, would you be willing to put yourself on the mortgage (assume the current housing market).
