Make sure you have a 3.5% down payment ready (this can even come from a gift from a person related by blood or marriage), decent credit (no tax unpaid tax liens, judgments, etc.), and three accounts with a 12 month history.

The tenant wants the property and cannot qualify due to a bankruptcy from a pervious marriage 2 years ago.

Marriage is compromise and if you share with her that's it's important to you maybe she will come around and eventually support you.

They are also struggling under the worst load of student loan debt ever.This generation is delaying marriage and children at a staggering rate.  

Here is an excerpt from @Clint Coons regarding the due-on-sale clausehttp://www.alglaw.com/service/view/land_trustsWith respect to a real property loan secured by a lien on residential real property containing less than five dwelling units, including a lien on the stock allocated to a dwelling unit in a cooperative housing corporation, or on a residential manufactured home, a lender may NOT exercise its option pursuant to a due-on-sale clause upon:(1) the creation of a lien or other encumbrance subordinate to the lender's security instrument which does not relate to a transfer of rights of occupancy in the property;(2) the creation of a purchase money security interest for household appliances;(3) a transfer by devise, descent, or operation of law on the death of a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety;(4) the granting of a leasehold interest of three years or less not containing an option to purchase;(5) a transfer to a relative resulting from the death of a borrower;(6) a transfer where the spouse or children of the borrower become an owner of the property;(7) a transfer resulting from a decree of a dissolution of marriage, legal separation agreement, or from an incidental property settlement agreement, by which the spouse of the borrower becomes an owner of the property;(8) a transfer into an inter-vivos trust in which the borrower is and remains a beneficiary and which does not relate to a transfer of rights of occupancy in the property; or(9) any other transfer or disposition described in regulations prescribed by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.So, like K.

Sounds like you have the enthusiasm, solid marriage, and financial management skills to make it work!

You just have to make sure you stay owner occupied for the required timeframe; however, there are certain exceptions such as job change, marriage,... etc.

The legal in the Quit Claim deed is:Interest of John Paul, but for his life only, remainder interest to John Doe, John Doe the second, John Doe the third, Jane Doe, Calamity Jane and Calamity Jane the second in lot 1 block 2 of Abbottabad addition.Should the warranty deed from John Doe say:John doe's 1/6 Remainder interest in lot 1 block 2 of Abbottabad additionI could use a Quit Claim deed and simply list lot 1 block 2 of Abbottabad addition, but I would rather use a Warranty Deed.I plan to have a lawyer review the deeds before I contact the 6 remaindermen and remainderwomen, but I want to get them as close to correct as possible before I have the lawyer review them.Also, how does marriage affect who should sign the deeds.

I would want to be certain that the divorce decree did not remove the POA or that the POA does not somehow reference the marriage or something along those lines.But even then, I think it would be better to wait for the deed to be signed by husband.

Additionally, who knows you also might be married (if that is your goal) and then it is a joint asset through marriage which would also change the picture for both of you.
