When buying a vacant property it is best to assume you will be paying 1-2 months of the mortgage if a rehab is involved (potentially longer depending on the scope of work).Having the 4 bedroom delead (lead paint abatement) earlier would've made renting out the property easier as MA has very strict lead paint laws and 90% of applicants were families with children under 6People do not take care of their properties Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I absolutely hated it, and I was literally missing my children’s special moments and needed to make a change.

I can not at that point be homeless trying to work my way back like I could as a single individual because of the personal responsibility I have in that partnership.As a married man with kids, the personal responsibilities become bigger so that further dampens your personal risk level.Having said all that, I started investing as a young married man with children so I personally was only willing to risk that which would not leave my wife and kids homeless all my investments went down. 

Think about your grandparents and the houses that generation used to live in with it not being unusual for 5+ children plus parents to live in a 3 bedroom house that would be small by todays standards but was normal then. 

@Robert Gilstrap I have a property in Southern California that I bought for 196K 2 and a half years ago all in including furniture (240K) and my best payout is 1.9k on it in one day.

Her estrange children seem to have hired a rest estate agent to handle everything. 

When I purchased it, it had some decent furniture included.

For some other clients, several transactions with Mom & Dad and then several of the children.

By the looks of it, I could charge 40-50% more per month to leave all my furniture in my house!

These are some areas I considered: 46222 - Hawthorne, Haughville46208 - Crown hill and general area surrounding the children's museum46226 - Lawrence and Devington What do you think?
