My boyfriend and I are looking at buying a house. Even if we don't get the one we are looking at now, whichever home we would buy we've agreed it makes sense for me to be the buyer as I would get the first time home buyer perks. I have almost zero debt and my credit scores are all excellent. We would both be able to contribute to part or all of pretty much any mortgage payment and I am eligible for any Veterans benefits/loans.
I do understand the loan would be in my name, at the end of any day all of that onus would be on me, however what is the best arrangement (payment, deed, etc.) to keep everything as clear cut as possible for both of us for any eventuality? I read so many horror stories on this sub about unmarried couples buying homes together and I completely understand the need to go into an arrangement like this as logically (not emotionally) as possible.
