No. Theres nothing better than owning your property 100% and that there are no special clauses to it.

No - every family has to have their own place and space. We did a mother in law arrangement and have raised two grandkids - I would like my own life back please. I would not recommend a shared home for any reason other than an emergency with a stated exit date - you will regret this if you do this.

Every single house decision will have to be made jointly. Trust me the parents will act like it’s theirs and the daughter and son in-law will be stuck with the bills of maintaining while the parents live there rent free. They will never be able to enjoy the property without the in-laws there telling them they should do this or that to the property.

As someone who lives with in-laws and is trying to get out, don't do it. I don't care how good the relationship is, when you need to get away and want to be with JUST your family, it will be tough and can easily cause bumps in the relationship. It's not worth it. Get a house next door

NEVER buy a house with anyone else but your wife. You're just inviting trouble.
My wife owned a house with her in-laws aka my parents and it was a very bad idea because when my dad went absolutely off the deep end alcoholic it turned the house into a bizarre tug of war when we tried to intervene to get my dad help. Don't do. Don't do.
Speaking from experience do not go into business with any family members.

I'm a little surprised the relational element of this proposed deal didn't figure into the discussions somehow. Maybe co-owning and sharing a lakehouse for 3-4 months/year with your in-laws just doesn't trigger anyone's warning sensors the way living together year-round would.

First, I don't care how well you get along with them living with relatives is tough, maybe if it had a separate entranceway. Second and most important which I didn't hear asked, are you the only children? If yes go to the first part, If not, forget it. You're 37 meaning most likely they're 57 - 62, they can live another 30 years.

That lake property is seasonal and also a liability. If it was income producing, then it's one thing. But they have to pay taxes, maintenance, and insurance that they use only for a portion of the year.

The parents are smart. Why buy a summer home when you can sucker the son in law to foot half the bill?
I wouldnt do it with family. things could get weird especially if theres a disagreement on an upgrade etc. or what if you want to go up and they say "oh no we invited friends up this weekend so there wont be any room" Family deals like this have so many opportunities for things to go haywire
No
A mortgage is not the same as high interest debt. Save up a portion, take the 50% from the in laws and open a mortgage and pay it off like you did with your house. This lake house sounds like a good opportunity to spend time together as a family and that you can't put a price tag on. Rent it out when you are not there to generate extra money. With it being a lake house, that would be easy money.
How is this not the exact same thing as buying a camper you only use maybe twice a year?

If it becomes a problem they can sell the house, Do It! Some people actually get along!

Their combine income is $140k. That means take home income might be $110k. Plus they have kids and maybe cars and stuff, daily expenses. I don’t believe that they can safe $200 in 4 years. Even if they live frugally (and I don’t think they do). They need to save up to 50% income to save for $200k. Also, I think for that price you can rent some amazing rental cottage every year and still have money left to put towards investment and retirement. Doing 50% with the in laws, if you guys start having any disagreements with the parents about the house, relationships can go sour quickly.
This is a great opportunity. DAVE, common!
Problem I see is, elderly relatives may need help some day. So what if they show up at the lake house with dementia? Or a urine catheter? Will the caller and wife have to care for them? Will there be a paid caregiver in their lake home? I don’t like this. Rent a lake house with them for a few summers if you want.
I think its a good deal .

Pass on this one buy a lake house for half off but can only use it in the winter until grandparents die idk sounds weird
He's out of debt and wants to go back in. He learned nothing.
The caller low key check DR "well of course I want a lake house...who DOESNT want a lake house" ololol
I would do it becasue he is 37 with 140k income and zero mgt. if he is willing to go beans and rice to pay off his share of the 200k. That said this is probably why I do not have Dave s net worth!
Obviously do it! The dude is literally debt free, if anything happens he can sell it, everything is going up, Dave literally saying in other videos not waiting with purchasing a house because it's not going down any time soon...
I'm not even thinking of the money involved but there's no way I would buy a house with another party. What happens when the "snowbirds" decide that they want to spend a few weeks during the winter in Michigan instead of going to their home in Florida and this just happens to seriously disrupt some plan that the young couple has for those same weeks. Who wins in this head-butting contest? I would NOT do this. Just stop and think how messy divorces become and how vicious fights become over questions about the couple's home. And this is between two people who once upon a time loved each other. I think sharing ownership of a property with your in-laws is a good way to have some really strange Thanksgiving dinners. I hope he didn't do this. This was a year ago so he either decided not to do it or it's a done deal and this is another of those stories that I would love to learn how it turned out.
If they truly get along all hunky dory then I might do it. It’s in your name, maybe Airbnb it a little off season (yes people rent lake houses in winter sometimes) and he’s getting child care in the summer on top of it lol
That is way way too sketchy
NO, NO don't do it, don't get yourself financially tangled with them and ruin a good relationship for generations to come. Buy your own house in your own name with your own money.
