Am I wrong? Wife wants her name on investment properties
Last year me and my wife had a not so great credit score. Hers was significantly lower than mine and my real estate agent advised me that when I buy a second property, just have my name on it for simplicity. It’s been over a year and I’ve reached the 760s and she’s in the 750 credit score range.
I’m finally in a position to acquire a second property and my wife said she wants her name on it. I personally don’t want her name on the investment properties just so I can have a little more freedom of movement. I want to be able to sell and refinance as I please without having to ask for her signature every single time. It just seems like it will be a hassle. I tried explaining to her that this is a business and I have to treat it as such but she wasn’t having it.
Am I wrong for not wanting her name on the investment properties?
