Should I spend my pre-approval amount?
I was pre-approved for $475,000 house. But I look at the monthly payment and I'm just not comfortable with it. In my mind, it feels like it's too much. But I'm also wondering if I can afford more than I think. How do I decide if I should spend my full pre-approval amount?

If I sell my home, will my boyfriend receive part of the sale?
I wanted some clarification before deciding to put my home on the market. My boyfriend and I purchased a home together several years ago. We split up so he signed a quitclaim deed but is obviously still on the loan. If I want to sell my home that I have been making payments on myself for the last 8 years. Does he need to sign anything and would he be entitled to any of the sale money?
