Mindset, daily discipline, refusal to give up, and having the life (healthy marriage, kids and self) you want is much more difficult in practice and often requires a teachers. :)Joe Fairless, Rod Khleif, Michael Blank (in no particular order).

Congratulations on your recent marriage and interest in real estate investing.

We also can't live in Temecula, have kiddos in school with other parents(second marriage).

I bought this home prior to our marriage and it’s fully in my name.

Partnerships are like marriages, they're great if the partners are aligned and they hold each other accountable.And please set expectations with your partner.

(Of course, as is my case, it’s because all that spending has been delegated to her because I hate shopping) First marriage taught me all the lessons.

If not, this is going to add stress to your marriage and your relationship to your children, and typically significantly more than most people expect.Your house is inevitably going to be damaged and changed during the time that it's a rental.

Congratulations on your recent marriage and expanding your real estate portfolio!

@Tracy ScottScour the HOA docs for wording involving occupancy such as, "not more than three (3) persons not related by blood or marriage living and cooking together as a single housekeeping unit."

Like a marriage, you certainly want the capacity to change / adjust, but that can lead to a breakup, or a complete change of heart.
