For starter, I am married to my 9-5 job and looking for a way out.

Married Adults + 2 kidsWhat if there is 1 samll dog/cat added to each of the scanarios above?

Hindsight is 20/20, my husband was house-hacking way back when we first married.

Plan on staying married no matter how rocky it gets, work through it, it's worth it. 

If you are single or married with a small child, buying a duplex or 4plex should work well.  

As a married couple, you can also take advantage of the $500k capital gain exemption.

I have a young married couple who is looking to get their first apartment together to move out of their parents house.

Best part is 1-2 years a refinance will make our numbers look even better and we are seeing our home increase in value because of both the forced appreciation via rehab and being in a growing market.If not married, I would have chose area first based on rentability.

The tenants in back apartment were married, was informed by the female that they were getting a divorce but she would be fine paying rent alone.

. $500,000 was tax free due to being married.
