Is it better for us to be wed, or can we do it before nuptials? 

Hello all -- after a decade of noodling on the topic and building up a general but abstract concept of real estate investing, I've now set a goal to buy at least one investment property (thinking buy & hold, 2/3/4-plex) by my wedding date -- that's six months time.

I was thinking maybe Wed December 14th 2016 somewhere near the square.  

I found out for an unmarried young couple I was renting to, that the woman had just broken up with a fiancé a month before...they had a wedding date planned and everything.

It took forever but in fairness to ourselves, we did also buy and renovate two duplexes (cash out refi'd one of the two so far), drove to FL to pack and move my mom back to OH, went to CA for a wedding, camped in Maine for two weeks, trudged through the holidays, and...suffice it to say, we weren't idle.

I was quoted 4.6% (25%/30yr) on Wed for the rental I'm purchasing.  

Actually this house would make a good bed and breakfast or wedding chapel for the weird and unusual crowd. look at the Winchester House in San Jose Ca.

The riverwards meeting is the 3rd Weds of the Month at the Front Street Café. 6:30-8:30pm.

Wed do plan to stay in this house another 10 years or more at this point. 

I am Sherry Patterson and I run the local BP meetup (now called DFW REI Network because we were told we can't use the BP name)  We would love for you to join us next Weds.
