If I continue to cash flow from those new acquisitions then I will start placing them into tax shelters like Roth IRAs, 529 plans (If you have children) and municipal bonds.

He moved out to an apartment after she filed for the divorce and she wanted to find something with cheaper rent in the same town to keep the children in the same schools. 

Between what I expected to earn that year and the support I was granted in my mediation agreement, I could not afford to rent, much less purchase, a 2-bedroom condo in Oakland, California, where I planned to move after raising my children in a suburb half an hour away.Dad to the rescue!

I have shown endless parents to local universities looking at the homes thinking children will live in while attending colleges.

The Gov is cracking down on children and lead paint.

Hopefully, it will create a lot of good posts of success that we can all be inspired by!

I listen to their children when they come to an open house.

I request that you share your source of affordable properties in Montgomery County, as all that I can touch in Southern Maryland for a price that is affordable on a 30-35,000.00 salary is trailer rentals, rooms for rent, and empty land that is wholly unimproved.My best advice is to help Jane understand that due to the economics of the region that home ownership is not a reality in her current position and that she needs to focus on her children as you only have the time with them once. 

It wasn't an easy decision to make, but at this point in my career I have the risk tolerance to be able to make this kind of a decision, and I thank all of you on BP for being an inspiration in my career thus far.

Well because I could not commit to acquiring my first property with the remaining time in the year, I’ve committed to analyzing 2 deals a day to post on the forums here.It will allow me to gain knowledge and advice from experienced investors and also give other investors like myself (or soon to be investors I guess) an opportunity to contribute as well.Even if they haven’t done any deals, they may know how to avoid common mistakes while analyzing that they’ve learned since they’ve started on their path to REI.I know it may not be much, but I’m really hoping that others in my position feel inspired to contribute more than the normal “Hi I’m a new investor looking to learn from everyone here on the site” and those more experienced are still willing to share their experiences.Thanks everyone.With that being said:Property #12-unit Property in Queens, NYEach unit is a 2br/1baAnticipated gross rents: $3.8k/moOperating expenses (per month):- Vacancy: $190- Repairs/Maintenance: $35- Taxes: $300- Insurance: $133.33- Property Management: $190 (did this at 5% of gross rents because I can manage the property myself but I’d like to set aside a portion in case it makes sense to transition to management).
