Hi all - I'm married with one child so far, in my mid-30s.

You claim your child as your dependent one year, then you don't, and then you claim her again.

That child brought the cat.

(if I made $200k I would be taxes on 80k after taking the standard deduction and child tax credits, etc. 

So I will let this little medium term motel keep chugging along as the forgotten child and circle back next year. 

I have one duplex and have been house hacking since I bought it, it's been 5 years plus I have this property and finally ready for a 2nd one, looking to see if I get another multi or a single family, any thoughts Side note I also need a bigger place since I have another child who now needs their own room.

Normally when the contractor disappears this means they are in jail for not paying child support.

Since their child was on a breathing machine, you should inquire what type mold it was, as I'm sure a competent doctor would send samples to a lab.

Oh, child care you say?

This will put you into your 50s.If you feel it will be a slow transition and you plane to concurrently carry your current source of income, that will eliminate you free time and add stress to the family dynamics and your health.In the next several years, the most crucial child development years in my opinion, you will not be there for your kids ...
