How should my brother and I put our names on a house we're buying together?
My brother and I are buying a duplex together, each living in one side, and we both want the option to sell our half someday without forcing the other out. Should we be on title as joint tenants or tenants in common, and what else should we set up before closing so this doesnt get messy later?
