<prompt> Human: Im getting married in April. Fiancée and I are both professionals, good incomes, cash in the bank, little debt, good credit. For a number of reasons we have decided not to live together before we get married in April. Her lease expires in October. I own a small home 21 1,100 since 2009. I also own a duplex in another city through an LLC, my dad manages that property. When were married, well either remodel and expand my house or sell it and find something bigger. In the interim, she needs a place to live. Theres a two bedroom condo in our city for about 3.2x her salary, and 1.1x mine. My current house is about 1.25x my salary. So we or I could buy the condo for her, but it might be a stretch for her to buy on her own. Or I could buy it through the LLC and she rents from me. The idea would be once were married wed either live in the condo while my home is under construction or sell my house and live in the condo while we look for a house thats bigger or just stay in the condo for a few years. Theres tax savings associated with her buying and living in it as her primary residence but given her income it might be better rate or easier approval if I bought. Sorry for the novel but its a complex issue. Anyone have any thoughts? Also, I said condo but its actually a town house so no HOA.Assistant: Could rent, but short term leases here are 1200. More than mortgage payment, plus if we decide to remodel wed stay there another 8 months or maybe longer. Could also hold on to it and rent it ourselves later. I guess the main question is to buy it through my LLC and rent to her. Or should she buy it alone or jointly with me. Either of us could put 20 down.  <response>: What exactly is the obsession with the LLC. I really doubt it accomplishes much for you in this situation.
