Hes already gone and not sure how to contact him, also what happens to the joint security deposit it just rolls over to her?

low capital transaction techniques:1) seller financing2) options3) master lease ( with or without option to purchase)4) investors/ joint ventures5) trade, barter, exchange

When it cools down, it contracts again, oftentimes leaving cracks in the bricks and mortar and gaps in the head joints. 

This is the way that I rationalize it: married money is community property money, so if he works and she stays at home it is still their joint income.Married couples have legal and financial responsibility to one another.While married couples do break up, they are certainly more committed than the shack-ups, so they are less likely to break up.My criteria states that roommates have to qualify separately.

With gross rents well over $2k.Couple that with creative financing, joint ventures or good leverage - it's hard to beat.I drank the Rich Dad Kool Aid several years ago & wish I had acted sooner - as most people do.

We file jointly?

I'm in for all cash, so nobody's gonna break my knees over a loan payment if my schedule slips. 

Bill Gulley I have to disagree with you Stripper analogy and that advise from "Professional Advisors" is better advise from people that are knee deep in field with hands on experience.

If you do a joint venture both parties must bring something to the deal. 

Family, friends, doctor, CPA, attorney, neighbor, etc.Another option is hard money lenders, they will be more expensive, require skin in the game, and your experience level will dictate what terms you can get.Lastly, you can find a JV partner (joint venture), one with the cash but less time, partner with him or her and split profits.
