We have since purchased two homes as our primary residence, that have since become rental properties as we are a military family.We are looking to the future and how to diversify our investments for retirement and our children.  

I'm Married with 8 children age 10 and under!

First time buyers are typically younger and have decades of life changing events ahead of them like marriage, children, job changes and sometimes, sadly, divorce. 

My wife and I hosted a pool party last summer at our house and Roby and Beth and their children attended.  

Ryan, great decision to take the plunge, if me and my wife were children free, we would definitely go for a house hack today, it makes crazy awesome sense to do this.Here are a few pointers:1) Use an experienced 203k lender, not someone that has done (1) or (2) just google 203k lender for your immediate area, call (3) get best rate, listen to experience pick (1)2) Its all about value, in some cases you can go 110% of appraised value, giving you more money for your renovation if you need it, depends on your situation and market.

We have two young children, the youngest who was just born a week ago!

., young children is not longer an issues)Ask these financial gurus to help you pay for your term insurance contract when you are 60 or 70 years old.

I have 2 young children who mean the world to me and want to develop financial freedom so I can provide.I look forward to interacting, meeting, and working with all of you.  

It is my goal to provide housing and a support system for foster children who have aged out of the system and have found themselves homeless and destitute.  

I'm very happy with the arrangement, as I've realized that overall I prefer to manage my properties, but with a full time job and young children, I don't have time to do the maintenance.
