If you are NOT married DON'T buy a house together. First off it is not community property IF you aren't married.
My daughter lost all her inheritance money when she bought a house with her boyfriend. Not long after they bought it, he decided he wanted to leave & forced the sale of the house. Housing market had crashed & obviously with no divorce judge dividing up the property, she got totally screwed. I would NEVER buy a house with anyone I wasn't married to. Complicated things if one dies too. What tldo the kids do with the property they should have inherited. Yiu are just asking for trouble in the future. Would be a foolish choice. Obviously she is only dealing with this on an emotional level instead of on logical legally thought through terms. If you have to, get a good financial advisor to help you put all the legal paperwork together to protect yourself, your kids, & your investment.
This is not about love. This is a business transaction especially not being married
