/biz/I need your advice

I am 27 earning 30k a year, my gf makes 60k. I own my home as a result of inheritance and my gf wants to buy one closer to her work to save gas and time. She's from Korea and her family is wealthy so she says if we get married her dad will help pay for the new house.

Is getting a second house in these conditions a good idea? (I could lock in rates and rent my house for passive income during the recession)
Is getting married for a house a good idea? (she might take half later but if I get a house in the meantime that's cool)
