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.

Our children are at $100 and $63/month passive income on the homes that will eventually be their first rental properties!

Just like raising children, rental properties do best when watched closely. 

Woman #1 was the mother of his two children, though they split five years ago (but during covid she and the two kids were living with him and woman #2...).

BUT we aren't alleging either that we have 38 children, that we're both half Native American, or that one of us served in a war that ended before either of us were born.

Raised the 25% down payment through a partnership with family members (my parents and my two oldest children).

ETWhen Tylisha Slaughter learned that the West Philadelphia rowhouse she rented was going to be auctioned off in a sheriff’s sale, she sensed opportunity.Slaughter, now 30, aimed to buy the home near Cobbs Creek Park on the cheap and restore it from the “slumlord”-like conditions she, her boyfriend, and her two young children had been living in.But on the day of the sale, she said, she found herself up against an out-of-towner with lots of money to spend: Brandon “Dutch” Mendenhall.

House hacking with two children can be tougher than expected because you will always need to take a larger or the largest unit which will reduce your cash flow on the property even more.

That's a factor to consider if you have children and want them to be in a good school district.
