I don't even have kids yet, but I know I will and I want to be there for their first word, first step, first crush, first battle of the bands (they'll win, of course), first heartbreak, etc.

I know the heartbreak of the challenges you're facing.

Frankly, in the current situation, I've been telling myself, "think of the money, think of the money," because the reality is simply too heartbreaking to consider. 

First of all it’s sort of heart breaking.

I stepped in and cured most of them that I could.. and I am fairly certain they would have gotten really hosed if I did not rectify the majority of them.. if you have enough liquidity and I mean real liquidity like  200 to 500k in cash to handle the ones that get called or other issues go for it.. if your thinking Hey I can put a few grand down and make the delta but I only have 5k in my savings account your setting yourself up for some heart break.

It's heartbreaking to kick her out, but I want my future wife to be the most important person in my life.

It's heartbreaking that there was a firefighter and others killed though. 

Heart breaking.

That's a nursing pillow... which is why this went from gross/shocking to heartbreaking for me. 

Heartbreaking stuff :(And I agree that introducing yourself as "Hi, I'm Bob, I run crappy apartments for people that can't get anything better" isn't the best way to make a positive impression.
