“They’re just kids,” the mother pressed.If it wasn’t in the lease, the free rent didn’t exist, the judge informed them.

Just kidding, hopefully I don't get taken down lol.  

Yeah... honestly, you sound like you are way over the top and as my kids would say, "you are extra".

We are now considering house hacking by buying a neighbor’s house due to our kids' school proximity.Our monthly expenses for our current home are $3,000, and the estimated rental value is $2,300-$2,350.

I worked with at risk kids for 19 years.

That's a tough question to wrestle with.Remember, parents are doing their best to protect and provide for their kids. 

I’m married with kids and own a primary residence, so no house hacking for me!

At some point, you have to stop buying, if not what’s the point… Also depends if you have kids or not… etc Sounds like you are in good standing so, congrats!

Who are they kidding????

At our last turnover, we had neighborhood kids breaking in several times while vacant, damaging the house until we installed a security system and camera high enough that they’d need a ladder to get to it.
