Leverage rental portfolio to add to wife's income

[Madhu Kumar]

I am thinking to leverage my rental portfolio to make income for my wife so that in couple of years she can get qualified for rental loans by herself. She is a stay at home mom taking care of our two kids. I do at 9-5 job and also make 6 figures plus gross rental income. Currently the properties are all on my name and loans as well.

I am thinking to add her name on the title of few existing and new properties and let her claim some/all income on the properties while filing tax returns. Just like how partners would do on a deal. 

Do you think, this makes sense?

We file taxes jointly by the way.

If there is a better way, please let me know.

Thank you!
