Yes - typically you are taking joint tennancy in the house, which is a whole other can of worms.im2kull wrote: Sorry to jack the thread, but question for you guys...
A first time homebuyer, can you get a mortage in two peoples names...kinda like co-signing I suppose...but with anyone and not just a domestic partner/spouse?
no, the ownership of the house and the makers of the note are different. the co-signor can be anybody who is willing to sign, not just the person with whom you bought the house.LenexatoKCMO wrote: Yes - typically you are taking joint tennancy in the house, which is a whole other can of worms.
Lets say a bunch of college guys want to pool their assets and get a larger house, can they purchase (Rather than rent) by having like multiple ownership?LenexatoKCMO wrote: Oh absolutely - I guess we were making different assumptions about the nature of the relationship involved here.
Yes - you can have tennancy in multiple parties - though the more individuals involved, the more I should think the bank would be skittish about the loan.im2kull wrote: Lets say a bunch of college guys want to pool their assets and get a larger house, can they purchase (Rather than rent) by having like multiple ownership?
But the less the chance of a complete default? Or so you would think...if all the parties involved had excellent credit, and debit to income ratio...but lacked credit history.

A Cow-worker of mine did the same thing. Him and three of his friends bought a $400k house together. So when he decided to spend 2 years getting baked while working at a nursing home driving the shuttle, he could still come home to his recently built suburban castle master suite.im2kull wrote: Lets say a bunch of college guys want to pool their assets and get a larger house, can they purchase (Rather than rent) by having like multiple ownership?
