Divorce Advice - reasons for divorce - 6.

Many married couples are now involved in property investing either due to simplistic greed fueled by the press and media or genuinely trying to secure an alternative pension plan away from the disaster of standard pension products. Many couples in this field are now experiencing relationship problems due to the added stresses of not only servicing huge amounts of debt but also having to manage the improvement or renovation of properties in their property portfolio. Having investment property as an asset can very quickly become a liability especially if you are unrealistic towards costs and choose not to take a long term view.
