Quote from @Martin Phinney: My wife and I are considering a move from the Seattle area to the Scottsdale area to be closer to her parents.

I wanted a house for myself to live in and I had been living with parents for two years to save money.

I want to educate myself so that I can help my parents a few years down the road.

The good thing about this is you can do a parent listing offering the whole place, as well as 2 other listings for each unit. 

My parents spent every dollar they had on the four kids in our family.

Only reason is I know I’ll get it back and I don’t need it right now because I’m living with my parents.

Wendy's parent corporate is currently credit rated but NOT investment grade they are speculative.What this means is they have more risk according to Standard and Poor's rating system so lenders will typically not give the very best loans for them.Think about credit rating systems for businesses like individuals but instead the credit is based on letters instead of numbers.

I try to be in the luxury market and also try to steer away from young kids (my only real damage has ever occurred from them, or should I say parents that don't watch their kids, and they drive the people crazy in my community pool, again, because people don't seem to care to ensure their kids don't disrupt others).  

Personally in this year alone I've helped clients get through divorce, leave their job to care for an elder parent, and leave the country for a mission trip with a cut in pay.

You get PM experience, lower expenses, you don't live with your parents anymore, etc..
