<prompt> Human: Hi redditors,I havent had much experience with real estate because Im still at an early start in my adult life. My mom has been purchasing homes and wanting to put it in my name for marital purposes she is remarried after being a widow and just dont want to lose all her property in case of a divorce. These houses are bought out with cash so there wont be any loans in my name, as I am aware of the debt-to-income ratio and how that would negatively affect me later on.So my question is, would it hurt me to have multiple houses under my name if no mortgages are taken out to pay for it?What are other things to consider when letting her use my name when buying houses?Will this be beneficial to me later on when I try to buy my own house? Like making me look more legit to the lenders that I already have property?Thanks in advance!!! Note: all bills to the house is paid for by my mom  <response>: without reading your question: No. No. No! Nooo. after reading your question: your mom is attempting to hide assets before a divorce. thats unwise, and its potentially a crime. do not do it. if she wants to protect her property, she needs a pre-nuptual agreement or to talk to a lawyer. this is not subject for do-it-yourself remedies. if she has cash to buy houses, she can do other things to keep the houses out of her name. visit a lawyer and pay 1000 to create a trust, for example. this way, the trust owns the houses. dont do this. please. I dont even know you, and Im begging you. if your mom insists and you want to be polite and support her or want to avoid a fight, tell her you want to talk to an accountant and a lawyer first. then go talk to some lawyers and accountants, and theyll explain why this is a disaster waiting to happen.
