yeah definetly dont include the gf in buying a home. I originally did that, the bank did 2 credit checks on both of us, all was going smoothly, then the day of signing papers, they told us they did another check and found out she had some cell phone crap on her credit. Raised my monthly payments by $500. She got booted off the deal and Im the only owner. BEST thing that ever happend to me, because shortly after..she went [fizzle]in nuts.
I bought mine for 150k, first time home owners deal..no money down. Paying like $1200 a month.
It sucks, but now that I think about it my other option was to get into an apt for $1000 a month.
