<prompt> Human: Hello, PFFirst of all I just want to say thanks in advance for any advice. Sorry if this is a dumb question, Im really not sure how this kind of stuff works.My girlfriend is receiving an inheritance somewhere in the ballpark of 120k after taxes and wants to use some of that money to buy a house. The lease on her apartment is going to expire before her money comes in and shed rather not sign into another leaseSo, my question is, is there a way she can get a loanmortgage to buy a house with the promise of paying it back plus interest, of course when the money from her inheritance comes in? What other choices might she have?She has all the paperwork and a copy of the will, would a bank work with her?Thanks again for the help!  <response>: Its possible but not a great idea... How is the inheritance currently handled? Is she waiting for someone to die or is it an ageclause thing? Theres a lot of variables. I dont see a big reason to rush to buy property just because she may have some money coming. Houses are really expensive and Im not just talking about the mortgage. Its a lifestyle... Be prepared to spend at least one day a weekend doing some sort of workrepairs.
