Before anybody suggests "house hacking" in a multi-family, I've been searching for that elusive unicorn in Brooklyn and Queens for the better part of a year, but I've concluded that multi families are way too expensive in neighborhoods I'd want to live in (I have a stay at home wife and two young children).

I once carried my R.E. in the early ninety's , but with 4 young children and a full time job , it was hard to dedicate any time to the industry.

My parents had a god awful marriage and it really made the idea really unappealing to me.And I don't want kids until I am financially independent because as harsh as it may seem, children are just walking liabilities.

I'm a full time Firefighter/EMT, husband, father of two very active and amazing children, and a dedicated family man.

The area attracts a lot of working families with children and seems to have fairly low rental turnover in the 6 months I've lived here. 

Also, for economic purposes, by placing home in LLC (a business), children will be elgible for more college financial aid since the business assets for a closely held company with few employees are exempt/not counted under federal financial aid laws but are counted when it is our personal name.  

Depends the the price range but it starts to slow down after school starts because people don't want to move their children after school starts.  

I am single with no children.  

We are looking forward to this new adventure and really hope to secure a lucrative and stable future for not only our child but his children too!
