(date the rate, marry the mortgage)TLDR: home 1: House on navigable water 2/3 acre. interest 2.75% @ $288k remaining... monthly payment: $1650/mo, rents: $3000/mo, net after expenses: $500/mo and goes up to $1000 after 5 years.home 2: 7% interest @ $550k in the school district we want and nicer home.I want to time the interest rates correctly so they don't go down and prices go up and we get priced out of the market.

We are not married, but I charge her 'rent' which is a little less than 1/2 the mortgage.Are there any tax benefits to saying she's a renter and I'm the landlord?

Since it’s a personal question:Option A- I’m married to her.

I am 24 and married to my amazing wife.

He is also married.. so does that mean he can gift me 36k.. and then the loan would be 14k?

Cash offer do carry weight as they can close quicker, don't need appraisals etc, but as an agent that works with buyer and sellers, I've seen it many times where a seller will pick a different offer due to some connection to the buyer (ex military, young married couple just starting etc) They want to know its NOT going to an investor specifically. 

I'm not married to Florida, so if Florida is not feasible what other states or areas should I be looking into? 

We're a married couple that both work W-2 jobs (approx. $200k together in 2023).

I married someone just like me.  3) I want a system that's as easy as possible for me to get receipts and information to the person doing our books.  4) our system MUST be secure. 

Partnerships are similar to getting married in a sense.
