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

I would love to be able to get to the point where I don't have to do the typical 9-5 grind and be more involved in my children's lives.

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.

Have you spoken with your children about this plan?

. - We have 2 children (ages 9 and 11).

Tenants who felt it their right to drop by my house after moving out and not receiving an immediate refund of their security deposit (versus 30 day timeline communicated in writing).Perpetually "nomadic tenants" that thought moving every year was a normal part of life (costing 1-2 months of lost rent/year).Constant maintenance/repairs from tenants that that let children destroy walls, carpets, and fixtures, repairs that inevitably fell on owners to repair for any subsidized housing program inspection. 

They proposed higher than market rent, but want to keep 2 people from thee organization volunteers in one room in future.We checked the website of the non-profit organization, their program include several categories, including helping international children to school, housing for the homeless, etc.

Know that children are rough on properties versus older adults with no kids.  

I have a husband and two small children.

We were planning $600/mo mortgage payment, $100/mo insurance & $100/mo taxes - balloon payment in 5 yrs.We are providing $5k to pay back taxes ($4k), back hoa ($125), pump septic & grease trap clean out ($225), survey ($600)  & our children are paying closing costs ($1500).Deal stalled as owner backed out on seller finance.Suggestions?
