I think his plan was to sell one house to pay for each child's college tuition, and then sell the remainder to fund his retirement.

my child owed 24K student loans and had no hope of getting rid of the debt.

Now I agree that loaded guns are not always dangerous in a stable minded, responsible, experienced person's hand, but when you put a loaded gun in a child's hand it becomes very dangerous.

O i might add im also a single dad paying child support so a 4600$ morgage is out of the question for now.

You could teach a child do make millions in REI, it's so easy.

I know this REI is hard work so I'd rather get the real, up front facts about obstacles I'll encounter here (from people who have nothing to profit from sharing a bit of their knowledge) than pay someone to make this sound like a cake walk.I am approaching 24, and have a child on the way in August.

They either had a family history with RE investing where a parent built up to commercial by the time the child started.

All of the poorly designed logos and bouncing things in the dock seem so incredibly childish, like something one would find on a child's toy.

To not deal with the 9 to 5 bs, and here I am just turning 30 this year and a lot closer to that dream, but the difference is, my mind has had time to grow, cultivate and experience more.That within itself has shown that this 9 to 5 isn't as bad as I thought it was in my youth and that you need it to sustain you until you reach that point of leaving it.Be patient, think outside the box and take calculated risks in your decisions over the next 10 years and these thoughts and depression will seem like child's play compared to the happiness you will reap from doing so.

The very first time a tenant sues you claiming that their child ate lead based paint, you'll find out fast that there are a LOT of things insurance don't cover, including mold and lead based paint.Mike
