I will be getting married soon and plan to invest with my future spouse.

I am located right outside of Fort Rucker, Al and have recently gotten married, leaving me with two of everything.

Also my dad is a contractor... worst businessman in the world, married to my mother, the worst property manager ever (whom I love).

To try to acquire all that real estate with your limited funds and experience, and being tied to a private lender and an inevitable difficult refi. or married to co-owner, is asking for trouble.

Get married and you each can individually have 10 (if you individually qualify).The rehab/acquisition loan will not be of the Fannie/Fred variety.  

Are you married?

How do a married couple establish who's in charge and who's running the business? 

With this latest property, I want to learn the ropes so I advertised and found a nice young married couple who can afford the rent.Move in day is tomorrow, and we set up the time for the walk-through for late-afternoon.

BUT A REALLY IMPORTANT ITEM WITH VA LOANS is that the VA borrower, if married, must be able to afford their debts AND the debts of their spouse....even if the spouse is NOT on the mortgage. 

Only investment property.For personal property, there is a capital gains exemption $250,000 for single people $500,000 for married couples."
