It would be a great starting point for their kids in the future if they can keep it. 

They're not bad kids, but they are kids. 4) CONSTANT TURNOVER80% of my properties turn over every single year.

Central Birmingham has a lot of boarded up/burned down homes throughout the area which are deterrents for the rental side.

I'm on board 1000%!!! 

If their kid shoves a pair of leggings down the toilet and clogs it (yes, this has happened), then they are responsible for fixing it.

I'm married, have three kids, and I live in an upper-middle class type suburb with the lawn and the white picket fence and it costs so much these days to keep a family there, it makes me worry about the future for my kids. 

Also, my kids don't want to manage the rentals that I have now, but they could handle the Florida condo hotels.Thanks for your replys.

I would also evaluate where you are at in life in regards to kids?

@Christian Gibbs a lot depends on what the attendence at town council is about, are they specifically representing you and your property to town boards?

I assure that is the conversation in those board rooms "ah, almost feel sorry for the suckers, but hey, business is business".
