Real Estate Investing with a Large Family

[Dylan Shea]

Hello all,

Really interested in meeting others who have taken this path and done so with a large or budding family. I have five kids and we've made some pretty big sacrifices to move towards financial freedom and full-time real estate investing (not there yet). I applaud all of you who have been able to get into REI as a single or couple, but would love to hear from anyone with a larger family and how you've done it. What was your strategy? What sacrifices have you made? I know it's possible as we're currently making it happen, but would love to learn more from others. Thanks and looking forward to connecting.

Great question, should be an interesting thread. Personally, I have 2 kids. We started with a live-in flip of sorts before kids, but didn't finish until after the first one. I remember having no kitchen, a microwave/fridge/coffee pot and that was it for a couple months with a newborn. Once we started getting rentals, our date night without kids consisted of going to REIA meetings most of the time.
