November 29, 2009My fiance and I are going to be shopping soon for an apartment/duplex/townhouse etc. to share for the first time, and I was just curious about which offer would be better. If you have personal experience with this, I would love to hear pros and cons or whatever information you would like to bring to this issue. Thanks!
Please stick to the question that I am actually asking here. Thanks.
It’d be better to get married, then buy a place. Especially in the housing market today.
Statistically, it’s proven that the divorce rate is actually higher among couples who co-habitate. If you love your fiancee you’ll get married first.
Horaayy..there are 2 comment(s) for me so far ;)

You would want to add up the cost either way. The rent is this much, and to it you add the cost of electricity, gas, phone, whatever you have to pay separately, then compare them.
If the landlord is providing heat and/or air conditioning, they’ll also be controlling it. You may not get heat until the temperature is 32 degrees. We froze in the fall when we lived in NYC. I’ve never had an apartment where they provided air conditioning, but I can tell you that window units will cost a lot more than central air.
