Our public policy has always placed a premium on maintaining the family home.So if you, as an investor, are purchasing someone’s home (whether by cash, subject to, or with a loan), you must have BOTH spouses execute the Warranty Deed or there will be title issues down the road.The title company will probably require the seller to execute a Marital Status Affidavit, in which the seller swears under oath to his/her marital status since owning the real property.

I showed up to a PM’s office that I did work for on her properties, in need of a quick apartment after my marriage ended with not hint of marital issues that I knew of.

This signified that the seller and I had entered a legal agreement with obligations to fulfill by specified deadlines.

In most states, joint/marital income can be used.

Most importantly, what are reasonable/ballpark terms that would signify a good deal with seller finance (any interest rate less than market??).

Don't saddle yourself up in their marital situation because it's nothing to do with you.

As an investor, this growing trend signifies not only a potentially lucrative market but also an opportunity to contribute to a movement that prioritizes efficient land use and reduced energy consumption.

As a person who has gone through this process personally, I have never found a time where a person has to wait until finalization of divorce to have that financial separation of things UNLESS your planning to use marital assets to do it.

Many times marital statuses are missing, legal descriptions are incorrect, or there is other missing or incorrect information that causes issues in future transactions.

As everyone else has said, their kids and marital status aren't your concern.
