I am currently employed at Starbucks and recently married (January 2024).

Getting married really helped out my schedule.

I will be married by EOY and i don't think we'd be down to live in a house with 3 roommates haha. 

If you are married and have a partner that doesn't work, you may be able to do this if you keep good records and are essentially managing the properties yourself. 4.

At the time I was married and my wife stepped in to help manage the properties.

This is my first post on any forum, quick run down on my situation-I’m 28, married with a 9 month old baby.

If your single or married with no kids, I would look at the following approaches:1. 

if you have lived it in the past 2 of the 5 years you have owned it, you can sell and pay no capital gains on the first 500k if filing married or 250k if single.

I am not married to either structure and the cost, as mentioned in my original post, is ridiculous.

Here are some quick pieces of advice: - GET MARRIED BEFORE BUYING A HOME TOGETHER (It would likely be a nightmare if you guys break up and own property together) - The more comfortable you need to be, the less of a "deal" you'll most likely get (that's not a fun thing to hear, but I wanted to make sure you did).
