They have a second baby on the way, and no where to go. 

Bigger home due to baby or growing family GLA - gross living area 2.

I had a doctor's appointment to go to with my wife (we're having a baby Monday and this was her last appointment before that and we had some questions) and a pre-op for her at the hospital this morning, so I told him that I'd be able to look at the house today after we got done this morning.

They were good to read tho, the one about bandit signs has inspired me to go get some.Vikram-Thanks for the kind words, this is hopefully just a baby step towards what I want to accomplish.

I have it secured in the basement of my home until we are finished and I take a load to the scrap yard.My son gets to claim and redeem the scrap metal we pull from the properties - it's a tradition that goes back to my youth when the ones in the family too young to work in the family business (fishing) got the scrap metal ... my baby sister once lucked out when we got fouled and broke a blade off a 500# brass propeller and the wheel had to be scrapped.My soon is planning on a new bicycle in the spring :-)

Also was upfront about when she gets paid, and said she may be late a day or 2 because she gets paid every other friday and may fall on a different fridayCons-didn't want month to month lease because she said the landlord (me :)) can throw her out when she has a baby, I said usually the owner is more comfortable with month to month to get to know the tenant.

Lot of times Business is compared to a Toddler that is starting on the very first steps.
So putting aside the Toddler Path, we can say for sure that the most important step to Start something is to START!
But how?

I forgot to mention the home is getting a bit tight for us: 1000 sq ft, no basement nor garage and with one baby and another on the way!

You can play to that by stressing that you'll be owner occupying as well... that the property will be your "baby"... that the property will be well cared for... that the property will help you out of a tough spot... that the property will help end world hunger... you get the idea.

Baby steps work for many - but the decision on whether or not to invest in a property should be theirs alone.In my most recent blog I mentioned it specifically that if you can never make your own decisions then maybe Real Estate Investing isn't for you.Lot's of opinions fly around on BP and can blemish the mind of a newbie investor.Anyways, not sure if this is on topic with the thread and don't want to hijack it.
