I live with my partner of 5 years in a house which he bought shortly before we met. He took out a mortgage for half the value of the house, and got a loan from his mother for the other half. I would like to buy her half. I have half the value of the balance of the loan in savings, but I'm wondering how I should handle the other half. Should I take out a loan from the bank, or a loan from my own mother? I planned on going to a financial advisor, but I figured I may as well ask here to come up with a skeleton of a plan first.
