We thought your home may be a great fit for my husband (name), child 1 (name) child 2 (name).If you are interested in selling it, give me a call at 12345678 or, you can e-mail me at..."  

Then I thought, well what if there’s other stuff I should save money for, or things we wanna do before having a child (not much time for that by now, she’s almost 29).I’m wondering if anyone has tips on a good amount to put down, or anything I’m not thinking of.

Husband has some student loans but we are not making extra payments due to the low interest rate (he refinanced after completing training) so now it makes more sense for us to let the loan run it’s course.In the mean time we are also getting started with REI - potentially will use either a DR loan or FHA to house hack a duplex (no kids , yet - but the duplexes we are looking into are large enough to raise our first child if we choose) then put 20% on a conventional loan to potentially buy another property.

Both have one child each .

I have had to plead an exemption (last year) for second home that mom or child live in.

Families with young children may not be interested in such flooring out of fear of a child getting hurt.

I could move family into a unit but that did not work for us (child was about to start at UCSB out of town). 

That’s why you’re the poster child for coming in on-time and leaving when the job is done, not when the clock runs out.6.

If you are going to pay for part of your child's college, car, etc... you will need more than one job to fund lots of expenses or your lifestyle.  

I am sorry your mother died , your brother got arrested , someone stole your purse , your car broke down , you lost your job , you broke up with your girlfriend , you are behind on your child support .
