@Natalie Schanne - the home has only appreciated about 40k, the other 100k in equity came from proceeds on the sale of our previous primary we purchased in 2010.Our plan is to live in this house until all our children are out of school.

This will allow me to spend more time raising my beautiful children.

We currently own a new house that was built before we moved in, and it is in a developing neighborhood, we are going to rent that house out then move into the house we just bought and do a live-in-flip and possibly sell or rent after two years to avoid the capital gains tax on the profits.Our goal is to get as much stuff done to the house as we can before we actually move in because we have two small children and it will be rough trying to live in construction zone with these two crazy babies.So, so far we have taken out the whole kitchen, removed ugly tile in the living room and two bathrooms, and started demoing the laundry closet.

@Dennis M. well Unfortunately I had to buy air conditioners for all my windows for me and my children because the air conditioner unit wany out 3 times in one month the last time that it went  we was out of air for a week so that’s pretty much where my rent money won’t when it was time to pay her that following Sunday she refused and  prior to  August is rent my rent was paid up three months in advance I pay my bills on time it’s just that I ran into a hardship having to buy unexpected air conditioning So please do not judge a book by its cover I came to this group for help and advise bro to bw bashed 

Do you have children that could be going to better schools (I would seriously consider this if you have children)? 

So yes, this property would be a C class, bordering a (D)o not enter zone, close to the University of Spoiled Children (Sorry, go Bruins).

My goals Be a trillionaire (not the first Jeff has that spot on lock)Develop and help as many impoverished villages overseas as I can Help end the homeless problem in America Build a whole city The ability to travel to anywhere at anytimeGive my children everything they deserve Have the amount of money to help anyone in needThese goals might sound ridiculous and stupid to you but I know I will achieve them and then they won't sound so dumb anymore. 

Her income is right under 3x the monthly rent requirement but does have a steady job in a dental office.

I see you have children, raising a family on a 50 acre farm sounds like a dream come true for kids. 

When we started having children, we moved and started renting it out.
