If the original poster wants to increase equity and create safety (and keep the little woman happy) financially, then maintaining leverage (mortgages) is not necessary if title fraud is a major concern; put the paid-off properties into land trusts. 

I listed the home on Zillow so they could do a background check, and the woman is the only one who has done it (guy says he will do his shortly).

I ended up marrying a woman that had construction experience as well.

For inspiration "The Only Woman In the Room" by Ashley Wilson 

When that house used to be a long term rental, the woman downstairs would complain about the people up top making noise, but it's been a none issue since the conversion

The woman mentioned that she was convicted for aggravated robbery 24 years ago and served 20 1/2 years in prison.

The last rental I posted, I had a woman apply and found out she had stolen someone’s identity when I was working through the background.  

She is a woman going through a divorce and will receive alimony.

I spoke to a woman who was very sales oriented.

I did a quick Google search, and unfortunately it looks like the woman who started this thread (about 5 years ago), Ember Meadows, 34, of Galloway, OH, passed away on March 3, 2016 in a horrible car accident on the freeway.
