If you have nothing to bring to the table you will find it difficult I always tell folks in this situation is to simply go on e bay you can buy every single guru's written materials and tapes for 20 to 50 bucks each guru.. listen to all of those read them all.. then slice and dice and see what fits your personality.no one ever said real estate is easy.. takes no money and will just fall in your lap.. its the polar opposite.. 

If the property is reported on the Schedule E of your personal tax return then you (or specifically your tax return) is the tax payer for that property. 

E-gad, but ok, its a pretty boring life being a landlord, finding deals etc.   

NOTHING a family law judge says has ANY weight on a contract.

Assumption is that I carry the mortgage, 595k and also pay about 80k for the rest of the down payment, FF&E and interior updates.

If you took a HELOC on your primary to use to buy a rental, that interest should have been deducted on the schedule E for the rental. 

The learning experience you will get being a landlord will be worth it's weight in gold for your next property, and the next, etc.
