What if a future partner already owns?
This happened to a friend of mine. She bought a place in her late thirties, then in her early forties met a man. They fell in love. They got married. One little problem: he already owned his home, too. There was a lot of tension over whose home they would live in, and what to do with the house in which they didn’t live. Who would be responsible for the upkeep? Would they even keep it?
