Because there is so much that has to be covered in real estate school. 

You may have higher costs right now with childcare, but once your kid(s) start school, those costs will go down and you can start saving that money for a down payment.  

We currently have 15 keepers, which is a great size portfolio while we have kids in school and college.  5 paid for houses will also do the job for you, if you have a pension from your service. 

Good schools, safe area, booming.

6) Are school taxes coming up and going to cost you another chunk soon?

Is there a reason I should consider a different school? 

I'm in need of advice...I recently purchased a home in a great school district from an estate.

That link above is to a private school that teaches and "certifies" 203k contractors, and is not necessary, or recognized by FHA.  

My question is, when you find something like this, and you don't have the funding ability(I work at a school and have TRS not a 401k, so I cannot take a loan out against it, nor do I have 20% down, but I have about 60k in equity in my home, but the lenders I have talked to will not do a HELOC in my state, point is I can flip, but not buy and hold with my own financing) and you need a partner on the deal, how do you protect yourself from telling them about the property and them just taking it?  

Left school in 11th grade.
