Can you sell a house to your spouse to get purchase financing

[Daniel B.]

Hi,

We own our primary residence and several rentals, nothing is owned jointly. This was done so that we could each get the most conventional loans.

Our primary residence is currently in my sole name. Can I sell this to my wife and we will put everything in her sole name, that would allow better financing terms. We are looking to refinance, and that brought up a discussion on this scenario...
