So K and I are looking at buying a house (there''s a thread in LIW with pictures if you''re interested). This will be the first house either of us has owned. We are not officially engaged yet, but we are currently planning on getting married in the Fall of 2010. When we were discussing buying a house, one thing that came up was whether we should get married earlier (probably just do a courthouse wedding with maybe our immediate families in attendance).
Would getting married make the house buying process easier? What about as far as taxes go? If we stuck to our original marriage timeline, we would draw up a contract now protecting both of us anyhow. Does being married make a legal difference on how the loan works?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
