Your wife has multiple children and a household to run. 

It becomes more preferred if there are children living in the home so consider who you’ll be renting to, but even then I think one bathtub in the home is fine. 

They were struggling to find a new place to live and needed financial help to secure their next steps and provide Christmas presents for their children.

I live near Chapman University and Children's Hospital of Orange County.

It seems as if you have at least 2 children, id suggest looking at duplexes with 3 beds, or a larger home with an ADU (Attached dwelling unit) that you can rent to alleviate the mortgage payments. 

I want my children to attend good school there and that comes at a cost.

My current job I work remotely but have two children that need to stay in the area so outside of St.

Personally, I've seen tenants granted a continued occupancy/renewal of their lease for the following:(1) threatening other tenants/neighbors with physical harm(2) dealing drugs out of the apartment with children residing in the same building(3) discharging a firearm on the premises(4) refusing entry to the landlord/his agent for necessary repairsAnd I am sure there are many other examples of bad behavior that the property owner is powerless to react to.

I am still leaning toward the holding company, but mainly for anonymity and passing assets down to my children.

I am a physician in NYC, a friend asked me to help a single mother with two teenage children who ended up on the streets after being evicted in Houston.
