@Brian EllisThe 121 exclusion of capital gain of up to $250,000 single or $500,000 for married filing jointly requires you to have lived in the property as your primary residence for two years within the last 5 years.

I personally don't love the idea of trading an asset (your rental) for a new primary (a liability), but I'm married as well and can understand that sometimes you may not have much of a choice.

YES, each person screened, each pays fee, screening jointly will only work for legally married couples as far as I am aware (may depend on what database you are accessing).

These are just a few important considerations on top of buying a place for yourselves too now that you are married.

I think I can easily do this in fact I know i can i have several now, my concern is dispo of on-market deals, as a lot of the local flippers that buy deals are also realtors or married to one. any advice here helps...

Easy...I married her (lol).

My wife didn't want to live in a duplex when we got married, so we didn't.

I’ve been in this industry for 25 years now and looking for a change.Twenty years ago, I almost bought my first triplex, or 3-Flat if you’re from Chicago, but instead, got married, bought my own house and started a family.

The first 250k-500k for married-is exempt of Capital gains tax and many improvements are deductible.Just because you want to use the property as an income producer does not mean it has to be in an LLC.

You can have up to 10 loans per person - so if you are married that would be 20 total (assuming you both can afford this many loans per DTI regulations).
