If you do the math it makes much more sense than paying dorm fees And your kid gets a good education on property ownership and management in the process. 

Might want to investigate where you think the trash is coming from maybe there is a school nearby and the kids are walking past and just throwing trash down but I would invest in another trash can or just might have to come a little more regularly to pick up the trash so there is no complaints from the neighbors.  

I'm particularly passionate about [ starting my own business on flipping houses..Outside of real estate, I enjoy  spending time w my kids ,, i love the outdoors alot and I enjoy making family memories .Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I'm an educator, a personal caocher and business advisor and since my kids has grown up 10 years ago I started doing real estae in Israel, where I live.A few years ago we went into some 3rd party investments in the USA, as part of an LLC group of investors- one in Manhattan and one in Atlanta.Based on the experince I have with those market (as well as Newtom MA, where I lived for 3 years) I lately decided to choose Milwaukee as my next market, focusing at the moment on single family houses.I'm looking into 3/2 single familiy houses to buy and will be happy to work with local agents and build a team.

Lately I've been tempted to flip but I keep reminding myself that steady cashflow in a strong market will ensure a comfortable retirement and will help put the kids through college" haha

Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, as well as playing golf, collecting comics and sports cards, and binging the next show on Netflix.I am very excited to meet people with common interests, network, learn, and help where I can.

If I had a kid like you in my community, I would be happy to let him/her help me with tasks in exchange for training.Do your parents have good credit?

If you brought your spouse and 2 kids with you, and you could argue all of your argue of your time on the trip was looking at real estate, and your personal business and activity circumstance defends being able to immediately deduct it and not treat it as a start up cost... likely 75% of much of the travel costs (airfare, food, etc) would be non-deductible. 

Our dilemma is who to rent it out to...The most serious party is a very large family, 3 adult couples and 4 kids.

Definitely best time to do it is while kids are young I agree.
