<prompt> Human: At the moment I am purchasing a condo with my SO. Her parents are giving her us 25 of the condo price. At first I didnt feel right putting my name on the condo since her parents are paying a big chunk of it. My question is, Should I put it in my name minus the down payment her parents paid for or is it not worth the hassle since it might not be a great investment? Edit: Thank you for all the information and stories and anecdotal information. What I am deciding on doing; paying rent to her and not putting my name on the mortgage until I propose or get married. If our relationship goes south then Im not legally screwed and if it goes well I will then be put on the mortgage and deed.  <response>: Dont buy anything with a SO who is not married to you.You buy or SO buys. Make a formal contract with herhim if you need the funds to buy the house in which you pay the fair interest amount on the loan.
