I first got involved in Real Estate investing around 2001, and of course, sometime around 2009, it was "bye-bye baby" lol.....but my partners and I did manage to turn some money in the neighborhood of $1.2 to $1.9 M.

Two of them are a dating couple with a baby on the way.

Application I'm processing right now is a couple who currently live separately, represent themselves as being engaged, and have a baby together.  

Start spending time on Craigslist weekly to get a feel for what other local landlords and property managers are doing.This reminds me of when I was pregnant - I spent so much time studying about the birth I didn't focus on what to do with the baby.  

The goal is to have rentals for active income but baby steps, right?

@Mike Cumbie, this is Florida in 2018.There are 60 million baby boomers retiring and they ain't looking to move to your state for the cool winters!

It would have been a great idea before there was a baby involved. $1,700 does seem to be an upper limit according to the resources you listed.

Also, congrats on the new baby!

I had hopped to be farther ahead, but I also got into travel nursing during COVID, got married, and now have a baby haha. 

view=public Aack, with that little baby mortgage on a $750k place, that you got in Q4 2012 so I know you got a killer rate, and the Prop 13 tax basis at that old purchase price!!!
