My CPA has given me any direction in this and discourages from employment of children..

I have a good income producing job, however, I have a 6 member household with teens, preteens, and children who are eating up my house like Pacman, lol. 

Familial status refers to people with children.

For the last 5 years, I have been self-performing live-in flips with my wife and two young children.

-25 years old, unmarried, no children. 

Is the pool decking crumbling and need replaced with all new furniture?

For instance is buying furnitures to furnace the house consider part of normal management activities? 

For example: could you sell the furniture off (even though 0%) and buy some that is $500-$1k and pocket the difference to use for a future investment?  

Hi everyone,I am new to the USA and looking to invest in property with a long term goal to eventually replace part of my W2 income and also pave the way for my children to get a easier start in life.At the moment I am renting with an intention to buy a single family home this year.In a addition I have other cash - not much - that is sitting in a interest bearing account growing very slowly.

B grade property walks are attended by my children to run around and tell me which bedrooms they would pick if it was their home.43605, 43608, 43609 are the popular zipcodes for bottom-budget value purchases...I manage a ton in these areas and my personal portfolio contained over 40 43608 properties at the peak. 20% of these properties will be crazy money earners, 20% will be astounding money pits, and 60% will fare average.I have evolved into the nicer 43612/43613 for my personal portfolio and find the properties earn consistently and far smoother than my 43608 houses. ($80k renting for $1200 vs $40k renting for $800 multiplied by the ratio above vs boring consistency of the nicer area) Oh and I have zero excitement for apartments.
