I *have* had tenants who said there would be no problems on a criminal background report, then I run it and find, among other things, domestic abuse, theft charges, child endangerment, etc.

Still undecided on market.

@Emily McCabe - but it can be a huge pain, depending on the business type and how consistent the income is, I think child birth would be less painful

I found an interesting discussion on related topics here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/20/topics/208...Based on the fact that I am still working on the house I live in now and I am working on repairs to a duplex I bought as a rental in the city, it could certainly take me a year or more to complete all the repairs / renovations required on this HUD property since I plan to do everything myself and I'm not a seasoned construction veteran.One thing to mention is I am planning to purchase using cash - no mortgage or financing, not sure if that has an impact on the conversation or not.Our first child was born about 2 months ago, so I'm not really sure what the future holds.  

I would write down principal, I'd ask if that included taxes, "does that include insurance", do you have an HOA, is there a second loan on the house, a HELOC or any unpaid child support liens, and then I would say, very casually "about how much will it take to bring the house current?

I am a child and family therapist in the East Valley and I often refer some of the kids I work with to occupational therapy to help with sensory issues and regulating their physiology.I have been investing in real estate as well over the past few years.

I wanted to "market" myself to families and those thinking of having their first child.

I have had a family of 7 (6 adults and 1 child) submit an application.

Most of the examples were between husband and wife or parent and child. 

If I can add a point to Oren's treatise above:If your U.S.A. entity (C-corp) is a 100% child subsidiary of a Canadian corporation, there is favourable tax treatment of dividends repatriated from the child entity.
