After discussing it with my business partners wife we believe what's best for us is to pay off our billls and build her credit and repair mine. While still learning and saving for a buy and hold strategy, possibly a house hack to start with. I'm curious what others think of this since I'm a newbie.

Also don't forget, your primary residence can be a great investment. I don't know what your living situation is, but you can buy a 4-plex with 3.5% down at a much better rate than an investment property. My wife and I own four houses and a 16 unit apartment complex, including our personal residence, and we're planning on moving into a 4-plex for a year just because it's such a good investment move.
