You also better factor in heavily if the chance of making some cash may cost you your marriage.

@Michael EalyYeah since I’m new, it’s like I don’t want to partner because it’s like a marriage.

Mastermind will focus on all areas of life:- Finances (1M+ net worth self made, similar to GoBundance)- Business/Career- Marriage & Family- Physical Health & Fitness- Faith (does not have to be Christian, but some type of faith that grounds you)- Fun/Recreation/Adventure- Contribution/philanthropyProposed structure (TBD based on group discussion/confirmation):- weekly 30-60 min video chat: round the horn updates on goals, projects, AIs, etc; Q&A- quarterly 1-2 hour session focused on quarterly goal creation/sharing (12 week year style of goals)- annually attend a conference together: BPCon, FinCon, Tony Robbins, etc (aim for 1 per year, see how that goes)- accountability group, idea brainstorming team, friendship, camaraderie, personal growth- if the group vibes, consider an annual social adventure trip (vacation, backpacking, rafting, surfing, etc; with or without family TBD)Rules:- no bull, commitment, follow through, go getters, make it happen, be there for each other- leverage your strengths to build others in the group up, place that you go to give (not just receive)- transparency, authenticity: full financial picture, challenges, strengths, weaknesses, family life, faith life, health- can come from anywhere in the US, as long as you can relatively consistently do a video call at a decent time of dayIf by surprise a lot of people respond, I'm glad to be matchmaker for additional mastermind groups as well (men, women, mixed, at varying levels, etc). 

Prior to being married I've rented no less than three different apartments, I've personally never had pets prior to my marriage but have always kept my place IMMACULATE and no different that if I owned the property myself.

I'm not interested in tax advice here (nor marriage advice, LOL), rather I am solely interested in the potential consequences of each alternative when seeking financing going forth.I already know that for my situation, filing jointly would most lower my tax burden, but I am more concerned about my ability to continue my strategy of "flipping" by using cash-out mortgages to keep properties instead of selling them.I posed this question to my lender but didn't get a great answer, so I thought I'd post here to see what your real world experiences have been concerning what obtaining a mortgage is like pre and post marriage and whether different filing options have a material impact when applying for mortgages.

So as to make it clear that this is a family transfer, I'd suggest on the deed that the Grantee is the daughter of the Grantor, like "Grantee, Mary Radino, previously name prior to marriage being Mary Jones, daughter of Grantor" or similar statement, this indicates the relationship for title search purposes.You need the legal description of the property.

They remained domestic partners and also as business partners, commuting frequently cross-country to maintain their bond, as well as to maintain their business edge providing emotional support and companionship to one another.Investor A began investing in CA and Investor B in his hometown DC, each holding their titles/deeds/finances separately for each property.Investor B has a living ex-wife from a marriage that ended when he decided to become Investor A's domestic partner. 

When I refer to a new partner I mean a future spouse (fiance) who I will be investing with.  My goal is to be able to deduct business meals, travel, etc. that we already commonly do.  I currently work in energy consul...

lol The sooner you figure that out the smoother the marriage goes.......... : )

:)Painting is the only thing I'd even try to tackle, but my wife and I started painting our house a couple years ago and after about two days of work, realized that outsourcing was better for our marriage
