She has piles and piles of clothes, million of empty boxes.

As for where will the baby boomers live?

Maybe one tenant has a baby and is the most likely culprit for wet wipes.

By dated, do you mean it needs new paint & carpet, or are the bathrooms pink/baby blue and the kitchen cabinets falling apart?

My wife is similar and when we went through the first 3 baby steps, she really couldn't exist with only $1,000 baby emergency fund. 

Baby flippers think contractors are desperate for jobs and treat them like handymen (not that I think handymen are low value, they are also so important) and always say I am going to do so many jobs with you, can you just give me an estimate only to find out the baby flipper has a 10k reno budget and this is a 75k reno and then they think the contractor is trying to juice them because they only think cosmetic and don't understand plumbing, electric, foundation, etc.

Then what you're talking about is extremely, extremely expensive teardowns, with the so-called "missing middle" being put there to maximize the economic return, which means that you will have extremely expensive rent/buy condos/townhomes/2-3-4-plexs.California suffers from the perfect storm of stupid policies, bad street planning (that's actually getting worse), some real actual natural constraints to building, and receiving a massive local inflation hit from not only the Fed's money printing machine but also from overseas investors who also have monopoly money looking either a place to dump some cash or somewhere to have an anchor baby.

X, being an entrepreneurial type, lets it be known that (tough guys with tough pasts and probably tough futures) can bunk down (for lack of a better term) in the rooms--for a weekly fee (in cash).All bedrooms will be filled with weekly paying (guests, as she calls them) unauthorized subletors, or she may stay there concurrently with the children sleeping wherever they can find an unused horizontal space--except in the subleted rooms.The main living area may be subleted to 2 or three more individuals if she moves out.The bedrooms typically contain just a dirty mattress on the floor, and may have lot of new looking (grown man's) clothes on the floor and fast food debris.Mrs.

In the long run, I aim to become a broker and delve into development, but for now, baby steps :PHappy to be here, to learn, and connect with the community!
