<prompt> Human: There seems to be a common theme on this subreddit that you shouldnt buy a house with anyone but a spouse. Ive seen that expressed in comments, not in the Wiki sidebar. I was interested in hearing this communitys take on a possible exception to that rule.I have friends in the Seattle area an unmarriedunengaged dating couple that are thinking about buying a house together, possibly through a local company called CoBuy. The idea behind the company is to make buying houses easier for friends, unmarried couples, and multi-generational family membersthus not limiting the housing market to married couples. I was wondering if anyone had heard of their model of buying houses, could explain to me like Im 5 how its different from the usual process of buying houses, and if I should advise my friends to pursue it.Thanks!  <response>: They dont have any magic. Its apparently just some templates for establishing a partnership agreement to buy a property.If you structure the deal as a partnership, you can more easily sue someone for breach of contract if they dont do what they said they would do, but its still pretty messy.
