Best part is 1-2 years a refinance will make our numbers look even better and we are seeing our home increase in value because of both the forced appreciation via rehab and being in a growing market.If not married, I would have chose area first based on rentability.

I was unaware of the tax-paying requirement you mentioned for adverse possession.

I have a young married couple who is looking to get their first apartment together to move out of their parents house.

The tenants in back apartment were married, was informed by the female that they were getting a divorce but she would be fine paying rent alone.

Once you are married, you are going to want your alone time.

. $500,000 was tax free due to being married.  

@Joseph Beilke we are getting married in Jaco, Costa Rica in a month and thought the same.

I have the great luck of being married to a Japanese citizen and both spouse and I have incomes in Tokyo over $20M.

You talk about not having the time to deal with these things, moving out of state, getting married, etc.

Husband and I have 3 rental properties between us that were we lived in separately at different points before getting married.
