Big dream is to obviously have passive income and do something I love / help others and to own my own beach house before these girls are in high school and to be able to travel with them while I am still young-ish ! 

Jersey girl here.. we own two properties and pay 15k in property taxes..

Bro, check out my girl, This Mom Flips, Lauren Hardy.

Plus we just had a baby girl 4 months ago so speaking with a financial advisor about how to set ourselves and our daughter Alice up for the future has pushed us head first into getting into RE. 

I'll keep this as drama free as possible.I met a girl who had two kids and we got pregnant.

After all, we're big boys and girls, right?

If you said you wanted to get a new truck because the girl down the street thinks trucks are awesome, so you are going to drop $50k on one to impress this girl, my answer would sound like my dad when I was teenager: "get your priorities straight...".  

I bought my house with a girl a few years ago, and we split up last year.

Kudos Girl!

I want to get to a point to where I can still do what I do but have suplimental income to cover the short weeks and allow me to be home with my new baby girl!
