Also, if they live in the house, they go on the lease unless they're children.

Happy match day bigger pockets followers.My wife  just matched to the Children’s Hospital program in Omaha for her 3 year residency and we will be moving to the area in early June.

Have a family and two children.

Some, you have to treat them as if they were your children and just educate them, hold their hand a little bit until they get the process down packed. and if they can't then don't renew their lease/ worst case scenario evict based on failure to follow agreed upon lease/policy of the building.

So in the past 2 weeks I find out the 19 yo supposed daughter of the tenants is not his daughter but I'm guessing a step daughter and she has 2 children 2 yrs and younger. 

Other than minor children everyone in the household has to be all "owners" or all "tenants") Probably not enforceable. 

We're willing to spend a chunk of change to have the lead abated and get a lead cert just to avoid any gray area regarding tenants with young children.

I have been able to buy Christmas gifts for children in need, donate supplies to families who were devastated by a house fire, purchase electric lawn mower for a home owner who had an allergy to carbon monoxide.  

@Grant Rothenburger, I don't think it's necessarily a lack of deals, but that everyone mailing to the same Absentee Owners.Investors in overcrowded markets need to look at alternatives like Seniors who have owned their home for 20+ years or Homeowners with low Financial Stability Scores (FSS).There's even a new list where you can mail to the children of the elderly homeowner - since they are the influencers.

About a year later and Duplex that I bought at Foreclosure has been rented out to two sisters both with children and is cash flowing nicely the sfh that i bought from the landbank in Louisville is done and also rented out, also bought another property and working on buying my 4th house in Louisville hopefully closing this next week.
