An interesting little weekend read for all you sticks and bricks folk out there...https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/thomas-edisons...Edison was ahead of his time in many ways with fireproof, insect-proof, and easy to clean affordable housing but clearly it didn't work out.

I spend a lot of time arguing, listening to crying and cleaning up messes.

I would consult with a attorney whom you can work with on a regular basis, to protect your best interests.

You could have her "quit claim" it over to you but that isn't a clean way to do it.

We have a business-minded governor, and corporations are moving here on a pretty regular basis.

Or say 12/1 which is after I have finished moving/cleaning/advertising and got a tenant signed? 

After some landscaping, carpet and paint, handyman work, professional cleaning, and photographs, it cost me 3.7k.

I have off shore investors … the only issue I had was my bank wanted to check the patriot act box.when I was getting multi million dollar wires into my accounts.. they wanted to make sure it was clean money.to that end my investors came to the us and we had a meeting with my bankers.. going direct to your attorneys trust account could work.. but the funds I brought in went into my account. 

The house is in great shape and was maintained well by the tenants, but I'm sure we will need a day or two of miscellaneous cleaning/repairs.

My wife intends to take a regular W2 job.
