I’m taking a big (but temporary) pay cut in my move to SC (please withhold your judgment - it was a very carefully made decision).

Hello Zach,Congratulations on becoming a parent soon! 

A big part of this was the belief that there simply wasn't any way out of the situation I was in except maybe a very narrow educational out to the middle class.The first rule of life for me was to HAVE RICH PARENTS.

You can look at your most recent paystubs, take the YTD (year-to-date) withholdings and then prorate it for the rest of 2024.

You would almost certainly run afoul of fair housing with a limit of 1 as you are preventing a partner and a parent with child unless you have a compelling reason for the limit.

If the property is subdivided off of the parent lot, a change in condition will have occurred with a public need to change the zoning to match the rest of Apple Street.

One year ago, after both my parents passed away, I inherited their house with two ADUs.

I lost both my parents last year which was horrific because they were my universe! 

🤷‍♂️Love this post and what Scotty posted.Congrats on your success thus far.As much as I love real estate and business it never is passive and never will be totally passive unfortunately.There is always a risk component involved and a reliance on someone.There will always be that gut wrenching phone call that makes the stomach turn.It all come's down to how much is enough for someone to live a happy life.I unofficially retired at 28 and am back chasing now at 36.Parents and family are getting older and have a huge will and in a way pressure to retire my old man.A beautiful person and father.I've checked off mum and uncle from the list hahaFew more to go lolI am and always will be a "real estate guy" per se but a few years ago I asked myself this question:"How can I get the highest possible return, with the least amount of risk, without doing any work and without involving anyone else?"

My parents are real estate agents but I just got into real estate investing over the past few years.
