The appartment's owner of where I live is selling the appartment to the 1st buyer available. And this situation will require me to move and find an other one. But I can't find any other appartment, the one that I can find, the rental price is triple comparing to the rent I pay for this appartment where I live. And my appartment is so beautiful, I invested a lot for the decoration. I love it very much and I don't wanna let it go. And he's selling it at a very good price, bcs the appartment is big and in town. But I have an anterior credit at the bank already and I will only finish to pay it in 2009. My boyfirned may have the capacity to buy me that appartment. But how do I do or what do I tell him in order to give him the initiave to propose me to offer me this appartment. He likes my appartment too, we spend good times in it :) - He kinda helped me many times for this appartment. But I want it to be mine, but am shy to ask him straightly to buy it for me. Please give me some ideas.

This isn't like buying you necklace. We're talking about a home and you aren't even married. That's a lot to ask of someone!
At most, I think you could mention to him that your landlord is going to sell your apartment and see what your boyfriend says. If he wants to buy it for you and is able to, he will offer with just that being said. If he doesn't offer, find another apartment.

From a mans point of view: I've been married now for 20 years. But if my wife would of asked me to buy her an apartment The first thing I would of asked is why?. You need to have a very good reason why he should buy this apartment.
1. the investment of any land holdings is up.
2. Buy for the future because of the resale value.
3 Time already invested in the apartment.
4. Shared Community land holdings sometimes doubles or even triples in value.
5. Great Tax write off at the end of each year.
There are 100's of reasons to buy.
Visit with a Investment firm and they could give you a lot more Ideas of why to invest.
Just ask what he thinks of the idea, and then give some of the ideas why. Also if you two are committed to each other I don't think you will have to much of a problem. I know that if my wife had asked me to buy her a home before we were married thats what I would have asked for ,, but then I would have done it no matter what anyways ,, thats what Love dose (LOL)
Hope this helps a little.
Good Luck!!

It's NOT your boyfriends responsibility to buy you an apartment. Ask your parents or a family member to lend you the money...then get a part time job during nights or weekends to re-pay them. It's not fair for your boyfriend to invest money in this apartment when he does not live there...and what happens if you break up with him??? he would be screwed. There are ways to finance if you're working and have good credit...or ask family

That's horrible! I could never do that to a man I loved.
Maybe it's time to consider a career in nude dancing. You will earn a lot of money fast and you can pay for the apartment yourself. Get over your shyness and just do it.
If the apartment is THAT important to you, these are the sacrifices that must be made.
Don't USE your boyfriend. Take personal responsibility and make it happen yourself. You have the means. Use it.

Don't you think that question sounds a bit selfish?
There are many ways of standing on your own 2 feet and sorting out the cash yourself, speak to a financial advisor. There are many mortgages out there now for people with adverse credit, I managed to get a mortgage and my credit was pants!

Why should he buy you an apt? What if your relationship ends, does he get anything from his investment? I say get a second job, save the money and pay your own way. You said he's already helped you many time for this apt. Does that mean he helps pay your rent, or bills? If so, that makes it even easier to say "no". He doesn't owe you anything, and shouldn't buy you the apt.

Why buy an apartment? Buy living quarters at a hotel, or buy a house, town house, or condominium.
If your boyfriend and you can split it, do it. If you feel you have to get married to this man, do it for the right reasons.
I'm sure Jennifer Lopez would do the same.

Ok, so English isn't your first language, I think that you are very clear in what you are asking.
You should find a new place that YOU can afford, even if it isn't in the city. You can have fun decorating the next one.
If HE buys it for you, it won't be yours, it will be his.

He shouldn't buy it for you unless you two are in a committed relationship, i.e. permanent common law or married.
Maybe he could buy it and allow you to live there, but if I was him there is no way in the world I would buy it and put it in your name.

Just how selfish can a person get. Honey, unless he has the cash to buy the apartment (note correct spelling!) outright, and then signs it over to you, then there is no way that apartment will be yours. If he has to raise a mortgage then its gonna be in his name. Just go ahead and ask him outright, you never know, he might be a stupid, gullible idiot and agree to do this for you, otherwise get packing.
