Austin, TX is the poster child for capitalism working to this effect. 

Could have been a visiting child.

Quote from @Andrew Syrios: So basically note investing is really trashy and you're looking for a continuous stream of income but instead of alimony or child support it's loan payments instead? 

With all that said, I would like to have one house per child to help them with family formation when it becomes time, so I'll likely end up with a couple more. 

You’ll have to be very lucky or willing to buy a problem child property and/or neighborhood.  

I tried to stay out of the way, but I had to stop several things from being done wrong—spaces between kitchen cabinets that were too small by at least an inch for the appliances to fit, a walk-in pantry being built that was too narrow for anyone but a child to get into.

My wife and I have a child as a member on each property(last man standing gets it all). 

I had been through so much hassle already with the other banks that I wasn't in the mood for a bank that looked as if it would likely have sales reps with newborn babies crying in the background. :) I wanted to go with Chase bank too for the same reasons you did, however, my attorney warned me that he has had multiple clients who had to go through endless hassles to accomplish their goals with them.  

I went through the same thing a while back where I ended up with over $100k in debt, overdue mortgage payments and child support to pay.

@Lauren Cutchen Bought a house where the sellers child had scratched his name into the stainless steel fridge door.
