I have a question out there - I need a way to "think outside the box", and continue to buy properties...Here's my situation - I currently have a few properties that I purchased while married. I moved out about 1.5 years ago (into one of my rentals, actually)...I have had to turn down a few deals because, since I am still technically married, my soon to be ex would automatically be entitled to half of the property....I don't want to live in my rental anymore, but I don't want half the value of a nice house to go to her (I also would like to but more units) - Is there a way that I can purchase property before the divorce/settlement is final without having to give her half?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated - PS - I'm in Harrisburg, PA...Thanks again - Ken :beer:
