Recommendations when considering a joint mortgage


 

 

Seek Legal Advice

Although not required, it is important to understand ownership structures of a joint mortgage. Consider a legal ownership agreement that details important points such as exit of ownership.

 


 

Establish House Rules

Determine how decisions will be made for all facets of home ownership, such as property maintenance and bill payments.



The HomeShare Mortgage is for members seeking home ownership.
