I need opinions on this... My boyfrined and I recently found a home to buy for our family. His 3 kids, and my 2. (One being ours together). We have been living together for 2 1/2 years in a rental home that he had before we moved in together. I have been paying a LITTLE less than half of the rent, plus groceries, half utilities, etc... We've been house hunting and finally got approved, BUT under his credit score and income criteria. In all reality, there is no way he can pay the new mortgage and everything else without my contribution. This is supposed to be "our" house.
