We have a single family home, a small commercial retail building, and now we are pursuing a 5 unit apartment complex.

Get your RE license and sell these on marketYou can also use the marketing skills you learn and direct it toward apartments or commercial real estate and jump into that asset class.

I would like to live in and rent the rest of the apartments.

@Rafal Soltysek hi I have 4 str in Edinburg and apartments in pharr and in Edinburg.

We have a property about 45 min from Houston on Hwy 10.

The location of the property is near a college and the setup is very similar to college apartments.

Great point @Jonathan Greene I have seen new investors making these mistakes over and over in the Houston, Texas Area.

One of them came down this street and tore off the roof of my neighbor's house right across the street Not sure about the apartments mentioned though...

On the other hand, they will manage investor's unit as part of an 'apartment complex' (https://www.zillow.com/b/6734-summer-fest-drive-109-110-san-...).

I think so many of these responses are based on made up hypothetical’s and not real life, I don’t think the vast majority of people are out to marry someone only for money & I certainly don’t think you want to get married assuming divorce but in the real world life is long people can be married for decades and something can change people can grow apart, you can even have a contentious divorce where getting the money becomes as much about hurting the other person as getting the money itself, I don’t think there should be any shame in making that even in a good marriage that if you grow apart you don’t put yourself in financial jeopardy.
