MFS to avoid cap gains on investment prop?

We are recently married and this is our first year filing taxes together.

We are on the market for an investment property which we might sell within 5 years. We will not be living in it and will not qualify for the exemption.

My husband is currently unemployed…. And when he goes back to work hes still in a lower bracket than me. I’m thinking of filing separately and putting the house in his name so he can claim the gain when we sell and get that 15% or even 0% bracket.

Is it worth all this hoopla? Would it even work?

I’ve never been married and I haven’t sat down to do all the projections with kids involved and everything.

Just curious if someone’s looked at this before.
