If I have an applicant getting $1000 month child support, that counts as $1000.

I have been doing plumbing contractor work in my family plumbing business since I was a child, and I have owned and operated a landscaping business for over 5yrs.

I'm a bit undecided on what small market is ideal investing in for me.

I am an educator by profession, but with the birth of my first child and a growing desire for financial freedom, I've begun to do a lot of research into the opportunities available within real estate investing.  

The move took us out to Fair Oaks which creates a very questionable timeline when you carpool with the wife and child to get back downtown for a 6:15 meetup time :(. 

I don't add anything to traditional financing due to child support destroying DTI, so I've go to look elsewhere to move on the 2nd home. 

We have discussed selling it but 1) we like the location and think of gifting it to our child when he comes of age 2) we have some emotional attachment.  

I do believe in keeping my focus on 1 thing just like Gary Keller's book teaches, and I believe I am close to honing in on what I want to do but I am still undecided. 

The clause should explain exactly what happens if the bank defaults and under what conditions the earnest money is returns or not returned.I understand this is all  new to you, but this should be child's play for an attorney.

and if so would I be considered his child by marriage?
