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

However, you marry the properties together for better or worse.

I believe you are married, so you and your husband can both work a second job or side hustle and add another $2,000 or more to your monthly income.

If you are married and you buy a new house together do you tell people "I just bought this great new house" or do you tell people "I just bought half a house", or do you say "My partner (wife) and I just bought a great new house"???

Hello,
I am an entrepreneur having issues qualifying for a conventional loan. After doing research I learned of the DSCR loan. My question is, if I acquire a property via a DSCR loan on my own, does my spouse have an...

As mentioned above one way to mitigate the tax bill when due would be to convert the acquired property to a personal residence and use as such for the next 2 of 5 years, and cancel out $500,000 of gains, if married.  

What if both of you get married and then pass away? 

@Natalie Vane I've been married for 38 years. 

If you live in the home for 24 months out of the past 5 years, you can exclude up to 250k of capital gains from your income, or 500k if married filing jointly.

Not a cpa, not a lawyer, just a reader....TBS.I’m pretty sure you’re generalizing at least a couple ideas...The best you’re going to do is tax free on the side you lived in, if it’s under $250k or $500k if married, you’re going to owe capital gains tax and depreciation capture on the rental side regardless  You have to have lived there as your primary FIRST, if it was a rental first, you’re going to owe capital gains and DR on the percent of time the half you lived in was a rental, and 100% of the other unit.
