We've since had a baby and now I'd like to jump into REI more actively.

Most likely will have to split some time between having my baby with me while I build, and the other times my wife will have to work out a schedule with my mom and her mom to watch the baby at home while my wife is at work...

Where as I am a newborn to the real estate world.

Hello, I too was active duty but separated after my 2nd child and a looming indef. tour when the baby was six weeks old.

We have a new baby and we both work full time so we would be looking for probably a newer property that might not need as much maintenance or rehab.  

Congrats on the new born againWe offer the cashflow dream and you will be satisfied sticking with Wisc.

I almost lost my wife and my baby daughter in an accident on thursday, but the lord is so merciful and knew i couldnt live without them.

I had a baby 8 months ago and was told I need to slow down and focus on raising her but this has always been my dream.

You wouldn't charge an extra $25 if the tenant had a baby so why charge it because they adopted a dog.

Your friend is particularly jumbled in his ignorance.With the baby boom generation of docs and dentists retiring there are lots of properties owned or co-owned by a set of practioners.
