That means you both must agree on the type of house you want, shop for the house together, make the decisions together, and sign the documents together. You are both legally responsible for paying the mortgage loan and taking care of the house. If you are buying the house with someone else, for example, your sister or brother is helping you qualify for the loan, then you all are equally responsible. If your parents are giving you money for the down payment, then they probably will want to help you select the best house possible, so get them involved in the process early, http://tinyurl.com/cs4724e.
