Further, a post-closing transfer of an undivided half interest to the non-qualifier normally would constitute a loan default if the lender chooses to check the public records. In other words, buying the house in one name and then transferring title into both names could result in acceleration or foreclosure. 4, record 3, English, - undivided%20half%20interest
