They have helped over 100 people in the past 12 years restore their lives, and reclaim children from foster care, rebuild families, and return to the job market. 

So, now a tenant with SIX children in the home is arrested and charged with 3 counts for rape of a child. 

Between a demanding FT job (that I enjoy,) a wife who also works FT, and two young children, I have no real desire to "all in" to real estate as a FT career at this point in my life.

However, within that portfolio are some problem children.

As per my original post, I think the parents are generally well meaning and just want to help their children.

What Im looking for with REI.... is to find financial freedom, to build generational wealth, to bring my family together; my brothers,  my children, and their children into a business Im not only passionate about, but proud of.  

By self-managing I know which of my properties are problem children and which are my star performers.

The neighbors and children might not be safe with him around, it would not be worth the risk to me.

I wanted to focus on homeless families one day with probably 1/4 to 1/3 of the units I will eventually have.Believe it or not, if I am successful in this real estate thing, I was hoping to teach others in my family how to do it too and anyone else who would listen especially those with children coming from being homeless. 

I can see through DOM the contrast between those struggles and the lease ups of the better located single families in the area.I cant say with certainty this applies across the entire city but what’s known is the fact people are getting married and starting families later in life than in the past, young people have more debt than ever before thanks to student loans, the cost of buying ahome has never been higher & most  families decide to move to the suburbs when they have school aged children.
