First time home buyer- tips and feedback?
Hi everyone. I am looking to buy my first real estate investment. I am looking to go the FHA loan route. I am also engaged, a first time home buyer, and I will be house-hacking. Do you suggest to get married before we buy a property? (We aren't having a wedding ceremony, just signing papers). I am currently reading a lot about taxes and I hope all of these 3 situations allow me to save a decent amount of money. However, I am still new to the world of investing. I plan to establish my business once I get approved for a property and look for tenants.
-Any suggestions on what banks or credit cards I should use for my new investment business?
-Any suggestions or feedback on tax strategies?
-Tips or suggestions for how to start my business or when?
