I am currently engaged and will be married in October.I actually wanted to know how to do this as well.  

I've been married for 2 years and my wife and I are renting right now.

I am married and my wife works as a full time RN and will be beginning NP school soon.  

I've been married for 6 years, and I've been in the Army for 10 (still serving at JBLM).

An even better scenario for an investor is to also BE an agent (or be married to one), then you (or your spouse) can capture commissions as well.

Also I wouldn't by a home until your married because if something should happen and it doesn't work out then your both stuck on the note.

After we were married, we moved into the home for two years before moving out of state.

I am married with a beautiful 6 month old daughter and I work in corn genetics research for DuPont Pioneer.

I little about me, I am not married, 30, consultant, no debt, decent amount of savings,  and about to end a lease where I live with roommates.

The tax advantage of an LLC (as I see it) is if you were to have multiple non-married people as members of an individual LLC, the LLC returns (K1's on your tax returns) would allow all of the depreciation, profit, loss, etc to be spread depending on the membership of the LLC.Lastly, so long as you keep detailed records, I would think your tax professional should be able to set up your taxes to show the 'loss' from the improvements to the property.
