That I can make something of myself in this world, and give a better life to my children and If I am lucky to find great fortune, invest for the betterment of my local home town.What I can say to new investors who are looking to get started, be carful who you trust, and if you come from nothing like me understand nobody cares - and this lofty idea of chasing the American dream is an internalized emotion not many can relate to, especially in this field where some people some from old money, and have multi million dollars... they simply cannot relate to you.

The biggest thing I have encountered in numerous inspections is chipped or flaking paint in pre-1978 homes that have children living in them.

You have 3 children and one just left for college.

We moved to west Michigan 5 years ago with our 4 children and absolutely love it here. 

Operators tell me that the objection to the costs are from the children of the elder who don’t want mom to spend down her savings, fearing that she will run out of money and that there will not be any left to pass down to the kids.

House hacking is out of the question, I have two young children and a wife who will truly think I have lost my mind if I suggest we move and / or rent out a portion of our house.

My tenant, a single Mom, had rented my rental for almost 2 years with her son and couple of grand children.

(I have children that could no longer play in the backyard unless someone sat and watched them) i replaced the 15yr old garbage disposal out of my pocket so I wouldn't have to deal with the incompetent plummer again.

We've lived in over 10 homes while raising our 3 children that we improved and sold.

I began by wanting 5 residential units so each of my children could have one and then there would be one for me to retire on.
