If you are doing REI with your spouse you better make damn well sure they are 100% committed or it will likely end in tears.
From experience being married and maintaining separate bank accounts and splitting costs is a recipe for a divorce either inside or outside of REI. Is that what you were asking or did I miss the ball completely?
Getting the mortgage on rental properties in both names if you don't need to in order to qualify is a dumb move because you will limit yourselves to 10 mortgages instead of 20.
