I'm sure you've heard plenty of stories about people making the worst mistakes of their lives by getting married, but you still got engaged!! 

Im already married and my wife and I are very excited to get started in this line of work.

Not saying I believe it or not, but it is a heck of a datapoint.The U.S. homeownership rate may fall to as low as 55 percent because more Americans are choosing to rent as they postpone getting married and having children, said Sam Zell, chairman of landlord Equity Residential.

If you’re married, only one of you has to actually occupy the home to qualify.According to HUD Handbook 4155.1, the FHA won’t insure more than one principal residence mortgage for the same borrower.

I live just outside Raleigh NC and am looking to invest in this area, as well to as far east as Wilson NC and south to my hometown of Fayetteville NC.I've been reading over the reams of free content here and watching/listening to the podcasts, and a few books as well (including the ever popular Rich Dad, Poor Dad, of course), and I am so impressed by this community and how much information you guys are willing to share to help out others on their journey.So anyway, just a bit about me:I am 38 years old and married with 2 wonderful sons, and I work in banking. 

Once you convert to a rental, you've lost the 250K exemption, unless you move back into the property....at which time you'll be able to lower your tax liability slowly, but never eliminate it.Also, I guess it goes without saying that you are not married?

Not a CPA, but if it's been your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years, you're not taxed on capital gains up to 250K (if you're single, higher if you're married).Either way, if you do owe capital gains on it, you're taxed on capital gains when you file taxes for the year in which the capital gains occur.

It works for a couple thats married until .....................................children , once the children are ready for school and the parents find that private school is so expensive they re think where they live .  

@Brandon Marr I should have a sweet house hack duplex opportunity coming up this week here in San Antonio.

Wait until after you are married.
