Invest with Spouse?

[Maria Moya]

Hello all, I was wondering if it’s advisable to invest with your spouse? I’m really into purchasing real estate as an investment property and renting it out rather than buying real estate to live in it. My spouse is interested in the concept of living in a home. That said, I figured our first property could be our primary residence in Orlando, FL (we currently live/rent in New England). After living in the primary property in Orlando I figured we could move back to New England and rent that property out which seems like a win-win as far as getting a conventional loan rather an investment loan. It would be easier (i.e combining capital) and nice to have a common goal but I’m not sure if it’s advisable if my spouse’s mindset isn’t as investment oriented
