Answer 1

It is advisable to do everything together after wedding. Ifyou still have to do do as business partner 50/50 and spell out duties incase you have to move out to diff place after graduation. Normally it is good not to tie up yourself to the property and it's responsibilities. Also note property values are sliding down so wait a year.
