I would go to work MWF 9-5, go to school T/TH 9-5, come home help with our church, renovate our space, and try to have a healthy social and married life.

This being an ADU attached to my home, there's no way to unbundle certain expenses like utilities.I'm not married to Stessa.

This cancels capital gains taxes (2/5 previous years) if you decide to sell (up to $250k single, $500k married).

I think I just have to take a leap and go with one who creeps me out the least.....kind of like my decision on who to marry :)  At some point you just have to do it. 

After standard deduction 24,800(married filing jointly), I have a negative taxable income of -24800 which is same as 0, meaning I don't get any bonus points for having large negative income. 

About me: 31 yrs old, married with 1 child. net worth about $500K with just over $300K in investments.

And in ten years or so, if you find the need to want to go back to school, it will be that much more difficult if you are married with children and a position that would not allow you to go back to school.  

If you are married, make sure your spouse is 100% on board with this project, since you will have many evenings of painting, laying floors and remodeling ahead of you. 

Fortunately, we obtained our medical and life insurance when we first married and way before any medical problems existed so our rates were also low.

It got me thinking about how I could marry real estate with my design and production skills.
