I have been reading BiggerPockets for several years now but recently decided to jump in feet first.I am not a complete novice to Real Estate investing but I have a very long way to go in order to fulfill my dreams of giving my family the long term income and security they deserve.I firmly believe that Real Estate along with a balanced portfolio of retirement accounts is the only way to go.Real Estate has always been a passion of mine, to learn my craft and acquire as many income producing properties as possible.As of recent and what really got me into high gear is that my first baby (girl) was born 8 months ago and I want to provide for her future unlike mine.Now I have this new hunger, direction and priority in life and have decided to commit myself 100%I know this is going to be a long process and am very ambitious and having a newborn is a powerful motivator to learn and create wealth for my wife and baby.A little background on me…I am married and have a 8 month old baby girl.

Is he delinquent in child support?

People die, become incapacitated, or incarcerated, again, courts may hold up payments, while in default a lender may not proceed.Collateral is destroyed by insured perils but it's not sufficient to pay a second off.Other liens can take priority, child support, tax liens, student loans or government debts, so check the priority of liens, but what also might be the likelihood liens might be created that can still go the head of the line.Fraud in the origination process, by the lender, it may not be discovered until later on, arising from some other matter.I have  no idea what Dave does on a recourse basis.

Thoughts are appreciated.FWIW - we would like to have another child sometime next year and daycare is not exactly cheap.

I was making minimum wage with my wife, and we were barely making ends meet (raising a child as well).  

A mother's/father concern is something happening to their child/children.

The housing crisis plus having my first child caused me to end my short-lived career as an agent.

It came up and earlier in the day we had decided not to bid because we found out the owner had over $10,000 in back child support and we weren't sure of the rules with child support and tax deed sales.

Well, my partner and I just got word that our buyer backed out of our flip property today because they found out that there is a powerline near the house and they have a newborn on the way.

Hey Josh,I love parent and child teams in business, REI and others.
