I understand most would say I should double-down with my spouse on our business full time but 1) our industry is heavily regulated in a way that can really affect revenue so it's a priority for both of us to have another avenue of income-- if not cash flow now, then appreciation/equity. 2) my spouse and i work very differently so while we have made it work the last couple of years, it isn't conducive long term to a healthy marriage. 

Before the marriage, I purchased a house where I lived.

And not sure of the ages of her 2 children from that marriage, but maybe suggest a large portion of it should be going to a trust, LLC, some entity where you invest in property as Trustee or managing member for their future.  

Hey everyone,I'm Francisco Grijalva, a senior in college gearing up for marriage in May.

I don't think her non-resident status should matter because the trust is a CA trust intending all property acquired in their marriage to be community property. 

Sounds like john broussard and texas funding 6% turns into 13.5 the made up reason my name was not llc after a divorce of a commercial property bought with my funds during marriage.. owelty lien. 

The person needs liquid cash, they have to trust you enough like a marriage, you need detailed agreements in writing.

However, title can be “clouded” many ways, including heirs who never registered their rightful interest (usually when someone dies without a will), spouses never formally divorced, common law marriage situations, children born out of wedlock, incorrect survey information, Sheriff and tax sales misidentifying multiple parcel situations, partial property rights transferred such as remainder estates, tax liens unrecorded, incorrect county identification due to changing county lines as when a river redirects, and of course plain old error in the property description copied onto the recorded warranty deed.  

Marriage ultimately doesn't really have that much to do with the qualifying other than establishing residency and what tax return the property is reported on. 

I walked into the first year of my marriage with student loans for college that I did not finish and a large business loan for a business that failed and no longer existed.
