I would drive 1 + hours if my child has a great school and we live in a safe neighborhood.

My most recent business success was building a certified child care center, which was inspired by my 3 year old daughter. 

One caveat my child was accepted into a special program at a school in Olympia and I am trying to keep the property in the district.

And therefore, housing expenses go up – whether it’s rent or purchase price.It’s simple supply and demand.If you’ve read some of my other posts here about millennial migration and the trends affecting the Sacramento and Stockton housing market, you’ll understand why there has been a sudden increase in demand for Central Valley housing as of late:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/621/topics/396725-millennial-migration-to-sacramento-2017---here-comes-the-rushhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/627/topics/528157-stockton-the-last-bastion-of-housing-affordability-in-californiaThis trend isn’t stopping either… more and more millennials are turning 30 every year (over 4 million) and the average age a woman has her first child is 28.

Not married, but with a 2 year old child.

Does anyone know if there are any special tax benefits in this situation:Buy a 2/3 bedroom house and have the child live in one of the bedrooms and rent out the others. 

It's been a tough 3 years and our money has gone to help pay for new expenses like home care for my Mom, daycare, attorneys and all the other expenses that go with having a small child.

He wants to rent with a lady (she has 15 yr daughter) with 700+ credit score, 2x salary vs rent job, BUT she has "judgement from court" for child support services ( She needs to pay  for child support).

I have a small child and am a single parent.

I'm in the wrong business.You might want to check if that is child support, and, if possible, how reliable it is.
