When it comes down to the legal mess, I would much prefer...

They to make, sell their home and make a humongous cash donation to her, to their daughter.

Sure.

And their daughter choose to buy a house with her new husband.

And please don't buy a house with her until y'all are married.

That just makes a whole other level of complication.

It's part of the, but y'all buy a house and then give your in-laws in writing free rent forever in the basement apartment.

Incredible.

Or have them buy the house and you all sign a two-year lease to rent from them and they can rent to you below market value.

They can rent to you for whatever with the intent that you and your new wife are saving up to buy your own place.

Or maybe one day you'll buy this place from them.

Okay.

But it just puts one name on the thing because here's what I don't want to happen.

I don't want your father-in-law to sign this thing.

You're covering the rest of the note and he has a stroke next week.

or you lose your job and suddenly, hey, you need to be at work.

What are you doing here at the dinner table, right?

And it just changes every meal when somebody's over another person.

And so here's the line I would use.

I really want to give you the privilege of just being my father-in-law, and I want the privilege of just being your son-in-law and not also your business partner and not also your roommate.
