@Demetrius Davis date the rate, and marry the property.

I still had my near minimum wage job while doing all of this.I wish I could say that awesome start made me super wealthy, but I wasn't married to the right person and life took a serious southern turn by the time I was 21. 

Before you go to deep in this, what do you know about this guy aside from the fact you met them in a store. a partnership is like a marriage and getting married after meeting someone in the store for five minutes would not be advisable.

Eg. from tax perspective, if the home was a primary resident for at lest 2 years in the past 5 years, you might just sell it and avoid capital gains (I believe up to 500k for married couple).

As a married couple you only get a $500k increase in value tax free.

I was married so I considered my wife the owner and the two of us would usually discuss things.

Seller is SINGLE - does not qualify for the IRS code section 121 $500K exemption since not married, only $250K - also units are NOT equally allocated in their size (the occupied unit is much larger than than the other 1/1 units) Property is in the Golden State (CA) which does not recognize long term capital gains. 

Let's say he is married and is getting a divorce and his wife wants half of his assets - do you pay her out from the LLC or is he forced to liquidate?

Are you married?

However the tenant married since and didn't have much under her married name.
