[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I can think of is your DH thinks that ANY house he buys here will surely appreciate and then he will have the money.
I know someone who did what your DH is proposing. the DW was the breadwinner and her DH talked her into buying a home with his sister. Why ? It never made sense. She was young and made a high salary by working all the time. SIL basically forced the sale of the house to get "her" equity out, forced DH and DW to buy another home at the top of the market after they lived there for 5 years. It was a disaster. Sister's DH said "It was that or goodbye to sister, so I chose that" they lost their shirts on that deal. And it was "family" I think keeping family together means acting responsibly by not getting into situations like this one.[/quote]

I would never enter into any agreement like this with a sibling.  Parents are another story.  I thinks it's really amazing that most of these posters think their parents will cheat them or be nightmare tenants.  This is crazy talk.  These posters must have had just the worst parents, it's a wonder they were even able to go to college and have careers.  Gee, I wonder if their did something right in instilling that desire ?

Give all these seniors some credit - btw 60's in no longer considered that old.  [/quote]

In the interests of finding out the truth, I think YOU, pp, should go ahead and buy your responsible parents a house and report to us how it works out, k?  :)

PP most people who take charity never start out wanting to screw anyone. It happens. Perhaps you have very limited life experience. People will shirk responsibility when things get hard and feel completely justified.

You know I would if I could. I talked to my parents.  We had a NORMAL adult relationship.  They are now both deceased and never in a million years would they have taken advantage on me.  Let's flip the coin, if you have children, would you screw them over ? [/quote][/quote]

My guess is I'm much older than you and probably have much more life experience.  My family has a sense of responsibility, tied to their value system. It's pride.  This whole situation really depends on OPs relationship with these people.  They could be scam artists but then what does that say for her choices?  She married their son..[/quote]
