Whats your monthly income, and how much cash are you sitting on?

I say this because we're seeing a shortage in housing with low-interest rates drawing in more buyers and, because of the forbearance program, folks can sit tight and weight to sell their home for more as home prices are increasing. 

You wouldn't want anyone getting hurt sitting in it which could be your justification.

I recall seeing it on one recently, but can't seem to find it again.Do you see any properties you like?

With that being said, if you would flip a house in the Nashville area right now the chances of it sitting on the market and not selling is pretty slim, depending on the area in Nashville.  

In time, the two of you will sit down and divide the marital assets and a judge look it over and stamp 'okay' on your agreement.

If I recall correctly, if you apply for a "second home" loan with a 10% down requirement, I believe you have to sign an affidavit or similar that the home is not an investment property. 

Their perspective is that we should pay the tax, insurance, and maintenance while they sit on their savings and live in the house for free.   

I have seen this range from as low as $100 up to $300.Do I need to pay anything before sitting at the closing table?

Probably have to sit on your investment for a while as who knows how long this will take to build.
