To buy a rental under myself, or add my wife?
Looking to get into rentals and I'm wondering if I should apply for my pre approval alone, or with my wife. Our home is solely under her name.
What's my best move?
Do I apply myself?
Do I apply with her?
Do I get my name on our home first, then apply together?
Is there other questions I should be asking?
My credit score is roughly 630.. Still working on it, and it's slowly getting better.
She's well into the 700's
If I apply with her, will she bring down what I could possibly get, being that we're (technically her) like $200k in the hole for our personal home?
Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
