My fiance and I just purchased a repo house for an amazing deal. The house and mortgage is in both of our names. When we first found the house, we both fell in love with it. But throughout the mortgage process, we encountered speedbumps that I dealt with (although most of them involved her finances). She was getting to the point where she wanted to back out of the deal. Ultimately, I fixed everything and we closed on the house. Now that we're fixing up the house, she keeps getting stressed out and frustrated by all the things that need to get fixed.

I realize that this is the absolute best time to buy a house if you can afford it (which we can easily, our mortgage payment is less than any 1-bedroom apartment). But not being married yet (we plan on getting married next year), do you guys think it was a good idea to buy the house?

Well if the relationship goes south then there's a problem. But my fiancee's parents purchased a house before they were married. But being old fashioned they had to get married afterwards to live in it together. But fixing up a house if a great bonding/relationship growth experience. If you can survive that you're golden. Also I would tone back any major project closer to the wedding. Don't need two big things stressing the two of you out.

Well to buy the house, you had to be POSITIVE she was/is the one, right? If there is any doubt, then it was a bad move.... Then again, if there was any doubt, then why did you get engaged in the first place?
