Zero. The deed governs. You could take a mortgage to confirm your loan of the money.

If your name is not on the deed, you have no ownership rights to the house. Unless you owe your boyfriend a LOT of money, which would excuse his reluctance to add you to the deed while still insisting you contribute to the down payment, do NOT buy a house with this man. If he thinks he can take advantage of you this way, he'll cheat you in other ways, too.
