However when it came to the portion where the discussion of attempting to transfer in other properties and refinancing any existing properties, it became *very* complicated and just looked like a whole tangled mess of legal fees and a jumble of paperwork involving land trusts, living trusts, etc.Then I thought to myself. 

Insurance is important because holding the wrong type of policy can result in denied claims.There would be further complications if these are both FHA loans.

They were great and handled a complicated issue for me.

This part really isn't complicated.

Since we are married, I keep reading online it is more complicated to purchase another multi-family home right away, even though I am not on the loan for the multi-family we just purchased.

It’s completely complicated but any advice would be appreciated.

You could even 1031 some of those properties into a syndication, although I've heard this is more complicated than if you simply rolled it into another active investment. 

@Ben Gradert I wouldn't make it more complicated than it has to be.

A recent friend complained about qt being $10k due to complications.

Don't move forward on closing if there's "abandoned" property in the house as this can be a complication.
