Renting from your significant other? Need tax advice

[Danny Kaminsky]

Hey BPers!

My girlfriend has recently hopped on the real estate bandwagon and is in the middle of buying her first house, we are going to live there for a few years together and then she’ll probably rent it out. Is there a way we can avoid her paying income tax if I pay some of the payment, or reimburse her?

Thanks so much!
