@Joe Villeneuve That sounds awesome Joe! I wish I was tech savvy enough to complete something as useful as that. Thank you for the insight sir!

@Alexander Felice Thank you sir! How would one find what units are selling for? For analyzing asking prices, I assume looking through the MLS?

@Wes Blackwell Thank you so much! So simple. I guess I was over thinking it and thought I needed to go find some secret county website or something.

Hello BP family! I am looking for advice on how you got to know the ins and outs of the market you invest in. I live in Avondale, AZ and am interested in studying markets like Avondale or Goodyear (a 15 min drive away from the growing areas surrounding our Cardinals stadium). I could even make a 45 min drive to Scottsdale or Mesa (more popular markets to invest in it seems). I am born and raised in AZ, so I know the bars, restaurants, and things to do in these areas. I feel i not really know the economics I would say. Like rents, job growth, population growth. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

@Chris Mason I really do love that approach. Especially being able to have more loan capacity. Thank you for your input.

@Steve VaughanI will definitely consult with an attorney when the time comes. Thank you!

@Thomas S. lol I know I would lose everything!

@Jim K. I appreciate your point of view. Definitely is reassuring that it works for you and your wife! thank you!

@Anna Buffkin This helped tremendously. I am also the researcher and boots on the ground. She would fill the role of a silent partner. I especially would also run every deal past her as well. Thank you so much!

PS. I apologize for the late reply. Have not had time last couple days to hop on

Hello biggerpockets community! I wanted to ask the married couples, who invest together, how they keep the assets organized. Currently, I am educating myself on REI and business. Soon I would like to take the plunge. My girlfriend and I are not married and do not have any properties yet. In the next 5 years, both will become a reality though. I envision us buying a property or two before marriage, and then buying many many properties as a married couple. Any advice on how to make sure we each are rewarded appropriately for our business efforts? And not that there is any option of divorce, but how we may each keep what we work hard for in our REI? Any guidance is appreciated! Thanks guys !

Thank you Nathan! That was great insight. I definitely will keep everything you said in mind.

Best wishes

@Brian zoh-neseh Mbangwana thank you! Same to you.

Thank you Stacey!

I plan not to. It's only been a day, and I have already been getting great advice from the BiggerPockets community.

Wow that was great insight Jonathan thank you.

My biggest concern is simply not having an income of reserve while going to school and capex or expenses putting me underwater. 

That is a great idea about using student loans as a capital source. I was debating on that as well.

Maybe I will be able to invest sooner while in school. After I've become more educated on the matter.
