What's your children's education worth? 

My goal is to actually live in the property and house hack 2 rooms while continuing to homeschool my children (ex and I are no longer together so living next door would be a very ideal scenario while raising the kids) once the repairs are done. 

The informed dribble out our wealth to our children when they need it most- match earnings when they're young in a Roth, then help at major milestones up to their mid to late 30s.  

I would absolutely entertain the house hacking idea if not for my wife 2 children.

The parent choosing to keep the temp at an unsafe temp with children could be a sign of mental health issues and they may need to take the children away to keep them safe. 

I want to pay my credit cards off ($15k) and adopt children (estimated to cost $10-15k) My company will reimburse me the adoption fees, but not until it's finalized so I am hoping to do a HELOC so I can re-use that monies later on for bonus items like a pool or something fun for the kids.

But, I am finding I have such an emotional attachment to this house we lived in for 27 years, raised our children.

Does the tenant upstairs have children playing ball or a big dog?

My wife is a licensed agent here in Washington and we have 2 young children.

Your decision may also depend on whether you have children who are willing to manage the property after you're gone.
