<prompt> Human: Hi,Gonna preface this by saying its about finance and not relationships. Just asking if this is realistic financially because I dont know a lot about real estate.My GFs dad is pushing her to buy a house. He thinks she should be on the property market. She earns about half what I do and even by myself while Im saving money for future, Im not yet in a position to buy property. He is a high earner though and owns property, many cars, etc... He seems to advise her on a lot of financial things and she listens but since hes coming from a position of having a lot more money than we do, I feel hes well intentioned but unrealistic.What Im wondering is this. She wants to buy now, then have us buy a house together too in the next few years. While she rents out that property. Since Ive never owned a house this seems not at all possible. But maybe Ill be proven wrong.I would have said it was a much better idea to both save for the next few years and both be in a position to buy at that point once married and settled. I cant imagine how 2 mortgages would be possible wthin a couple of years of each other without going into serious level of debt, even if it were approved, which I also dont know. Then maintaining the other property as a rental would mean extra investment Im sure as tenants tend of need to repairreplace things over time.Is this at all realistic? I always felt buying just 1 house was a big investment. And we live near a big US city where property is so expensive. If I was coming from a lot more money, then owning several properties would seem like a good idea but if we were to end up so buried in debt, I feel itsa bad idea.Since its her money, Im not at all in a position to influence her decision. But Im concerned what it would mean for my own or our joint finances a few years down the road. So its a dilemma. Shes free to do as she pleases now with her money but in terms of a longterm future, I feel Id end up paying a lot into the rental out of joint finances eventually without any equity in it and then have the burden on our own home mortgage being mostly on myself as the larger earner. So a lifetime of serious debt without really owning anything myself.Has anyone been in this situation or be in a position to explain if I have it wrong and it would make sense?Many thanks.  <response>: her dad wants her to have her own place so she isnt dependent on you.
