It's my understanding (I'm not a lawyer, no legal advice) that if you use marital funds, like your own funds for down payment and mortgage in your name only but then you later on make a payment from a joint account or use marital funds to put a new roof on it, that it may no longer be separate property. 

Not really worried about the buyers list I was getting a signifiant amount of leads.

Landlords cannot choose renters or buyers based on a person’s race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, nationality, marital or domestic partnership or civil union status, sex, gender identity or expression, disability, affectional or sexual orientation, family status or source of lawful income or source of lawful rent payment (such as rental assistance from the Housing Choice Voucher Program formerly known as Section 8).

What can you do to protect those assets/acquisitions from a possible future marital breakup? 

@Jason DiClemente I wouldn’t tell him to use Marital Status Discrimination as a criteria for a red flag.

Marital, or potential marital status is not a valid rejection reason. 

Hello everyone, I fully understand that every situation is different because of personal income, rental income, differing states/taxes and even marital status plays a roll.

There are financing options out there past that, as you've seen, but pragmatically I've only seen people jump into commercial real estate before hitting that theoretical cap of 20 per marital unit. 20 Fannie loans times 4 units a pop equals 80 doors.

My agent brought it to me and we negotiated hard because there was signifiant deferred maintenance.
