Boyfriend and I have been togeter for long time and we got a house two years ago. He is the primary and my name is just an add on. WE have decided to split and boyfriend agreed to sign house over if I gave him the $5,000 he had put down on the house and I would have to pay for the closing cost. WOuld I have to put another down payment? WHat do I need to do to qualify? My credit is pretty good.Do I have to make at least 1/3 of the total price of the house?? ANY OTHER GREAT IDEAS OR INFORMATION WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL!

you got a number of responses and you are going to have to pick someone to speak to. so let me try and put my best foot forward.
first, there is no such thing as an add on, if you co-signed the mortgage and/or are currently on the deed you are to say the least part owner of the house. therefore, you do not need to have a down payment to "buy him out" of the house. you simply need to refinance and take his name off the deed (of course with his consent). now ...
based on your basic information you should be able to. there are many different mortgage programs that will probably help you accomplish what you want. when picking the right lender, not only should you be concerned about rate, points and fees but the service and experience they are going to be able to provide you.
i have been in the real estate and mortgage business for 22 years and i am a nationwide direct mortgage lender. you can call me anytime in my office at 1-877-543-3711 or on my cell phone at 917-796-8498. if you prefer to email me you can do so at jstern@lendamerica.com
good luck

It depends on whether you are on the mortgage now.
If you are not, then it probably has a "due on sale" clause which means you need to see a loan officer, and the first thing they want to see is your Contract, which means you need an attorney first.
If you are on the mortgage now, (even if you did NOT sign the note) you may be able to make it work with him just signing over the property to you, but that's a really bad idea from his perspective.
Start with an attorney. You definitely need to get a contract so you don't do a lot of prep work and then he changes his mind.

FYI
Your property taxes will go up if he transfers it to you as tenants in common. I sugesst you be added as a joint tenant because that won't cause a reassessment initially, only at the deat of the joint tenant,
You might need to be seasoned to refi the place: ie, be on title for more then 6 months.
