Welcome to the BP community Juan.

@Bill WilliamsNew Mexico is one of about 9 states that has a Community Property right between married couples, which includes ( as I understand it), as stated previously, the home acquired prior to marriage belongs to the individual, not both of you; hence she would have the freedom to sell or mortgage that home anytime, without your consent involved.Any income earned from such a separate property belongs to the individual, but if you choose to share bank accounts and 'commingle' funds, and the house is sold, those proceeds placed into a joint account become community i.e. both of your funds.Community property is acquired by either spouse during marriage, and selling or  encumbrance requires both of your signatures.  

Hi BP community, I need some advice on what approach I should take in order to get this property under contract.
