Not subletting it out or their children aren’t staying there instead.

However, the management of tenants are more and possibility of conflicts could be higher.As for renting the whole house, rents would definitely be lower, since not many household or single individuals can afford paying for the whole house, so most likely you will be attracting a family with children.

I'd really appreciate feedback with regard to whether I should move forward with investing in real estate, or to let the desire go for the time being: I'm 34-years old, married, have 2-children under the age of two, own a home, and have a stable and good paying job.

Facebook marketplace for all the furniture is a move too.

Children buying a primary home for a parent is a great program.  5% down and renting 1 room out will obviously not cash flow well.  

And I'd have to spend $10,000 to $20,000 I imagine to buy furniture, kitchenware, beds, dressers, etc.  

Some repairs included, walls to be repainted (I caulked the holes from mounting tvs), garbage was on the ground in the in the alley, furniture was on the ground in the alley.  

So now, like spoiled children, when things return to "a life more normal" were all wailing how "HIGH" the cost of $ is.

If you are sharing your personal space, you have the right to reject people of different races, religions, sex, people with children, etc.

Every room has a few pieces of furniture/personal belongings.
