Husband and Wife Starting Out
Hello everyone!
My wife and I have had several conversations and are wanting to start the real estate journey together. I would love to hear some stories of other couples on how they got started so that she can read through them. She is obviously a little hesitant as everyone is so any encouragement would be awesome!
I have only one deal under my belt and would love to know how people structured their businesses or if they just used 2nd home mortgages to start out for the better DP and rates. Thanks all and I am looking forward to the answers.
Also, if there is anyone in the Dallas area that has recommendations of some good CPAs in this space I would love to connect!
Regards,
Brandon

Aloha Brandon! Congratulations on getting started on your real estate journey. It can be really fun working with your significant other as long as you both have constant communication about everything. And just like with any business partner, make everything clear by agreeing how things will work and who will have what responsibilities. Then as you go along your deals you can fine tune anything.
My significant other and I started off doing our deals separate and now we have become a team. I'll send you a message and you both can ask any questions you would like!
