I was born and raised in Pensacola, FL, where I lived for almost 30 years.I'm married to an amazing, and extremely intelligent woman (Kim) and have to incredible boys (one just turned 18, the other almost 15). 

If you are married, they could also give your wife the same.

I am married with an infant daughter and another on on the way (a boy).

It's like dating before you get married. 

Also, about 11 years ago when we got married, she owned a home and I owned the home we continue to live in.  

When I was married we needed the tax write off.  

My husband and I are newly married (2 months) and the only experience we have with real estate is the current home we live in that my husband bought 5 years ago.

Hello my name is Matthew. i found BiggerPockets years ago and have been interested in real estate since i was in high school. i made excuses and let life get in the way for many years.....bad decision seeing i wasted all that time. fast forward to now i am married and have an almost 2 year old son ( wow he grew up so fast). right now i have a decent job with a very caring company but it just isnt enough. though i can save some i wont be able to provide the life for my family i feel that i should. i have been rebuilding my credit for the past 18 months. now is the time for change, yesterday was the time for change I WILL GO DOWN THE PATH TO A BETTER FUTURE. i have listened to almost all the biggerpockets podcasts, read/listened to many books, i am a delivery driver on nantucket island so i listen to audiobooks and podcasts all day while working. i have been started looking for deals but still having a little difficulty analyzing deals. currently i live on cape cod Massachusetts and commute to nantucket everyday. i use the hour long ferry ride each way to search for deals. i have alway been interested in owning enough multi-family homes and apartments to supplement my income. i am currently away from home and my family 14 hours a day, sleep 6 to 7 hours which leaves me spread pretty thin. i am grateful for such a wonderful community that is biggerpockets for coming together and sharing, teaching, helping and building one another. now that i have kind of ramble on i will get back to the point. i am interested in the BRRR strategy particularly with multifamilies 3 units and up. i would also love to learn how to analyze deals better so i can either wholesale them to or partner with other investors. i am not opposed to investing out of state but dont have a team formed yet either in or out of state. i have been all over the country and live in oregon, arizona, north carolina, maine, new hampshire, maine, alaska, and now massachusetts it is great to be here, i appreciate you all and cant wait to know you betterMatthew Hudson

Buying real estate is like getting married, it's a long commitment.

This suggests you plan to keep the condo after you move in with fiance and even after you get married.
