Pre-marriage: buy investment property now or wait?

Hey BP community, newbie here. My fiance and I are both excited about investing in real estate and are wondering if you can help us with this-- should we wait until we get married to buy an investment property together or can we buy before we get married without much headache/hassle later on? 

Our wedding is in 4 months. Our credit scores are about the same. Our incomes are about the same. We won't be living in the property. I can't imagine a scenario that would cause us to not get married, so that's not a concern. We're both very on board with investing, so that's not an issue either. 

Any pros/cons to waiting to be married versus buying now? I'm sure waiting until we're married would be easier, but are there any pros to investing now? Any interesting hacks?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
