My wife is from the Montgomery area.

This means my wife and I could potentially manage up to 20 mortgages together before moving into commercial real estate financing.

You will also know better if buying around 56 works for you and your wife after you have been here for a while.Renting is not ideal, but it does give you more flexibility.

I could not have done it without my banker of 30 years  one.. and two my wife..

I know it’s not a super helpful comment for your end goal but my wife and I are looking for a second rental in Virginia Beach if you were interested in freeing up some funds for your Pittsburgh expansion.

I'd also suggest Union City, where my wife and I owned a condo.

My wife inherited a duplex from her mother that we have rented out since 2019 and we purchased our own home in 2020.

I found one who's strategies made sense, 10 years later my wife and I have been financial free for about 5 years now by leveraging the concept of house hacking. 

I was able to check an old listing and it showed it as being 2 units instead of 3 and one bedroom/bathroom less than what they are claiming.Tomorrow I plan on having my pretty wife knock on a couple doors, hopefully she can talk to someone living there so we don't get something substantially different.

When you get the calls, say "Oh, wow, well I was probably gonna move my family in once it's built, but I might be open to just selling it, since my wife is already talking about wanting to do another house for [make up a reason]."
