The equity line would just be to help with the down payment To add to this confusion we have a first baby on the way. 

We are having a baby, (and I’m a pediatrician) and know all to well, the dangers of exposing an infant to lead containing dust.

The first duplex is awesome and is rented to great tenants.Did I mention my wife is was due for our first baby on Sunday?

She says she can smell it in her clothing. 

Neither can be climbed out of without the aid of tools, and this is no different.I'm looking (HARD) for an example where doing nothing and willingly losing $1000/month before you even get out of bed, house, feed, or clothe yourself is the "best course of action".

I have to say that to a small degree I have baby sit my property management company.

A good PM unfortunately will have to baby hobby landlords to keep them happy until they settle in.

Especially if the tenants have small children, you have to clearly communicate what items are forbidden to go down the toilets (baby wipes, bleach cleaners, etc) and let the tenants know if they plug the system they are responsible for having it cleaned out/pumped. 

@Kathy Johnson the free rent is for him baby sitting the property.

We have a son and daughter in law who lives near Cincinnati who just lost their baby a few months ago and it will be nice to have a place to get together and visit them while we are at the conference if they want to stop by as well after work to see us.I saw a fireplace in the photo!
