I did contact one lender about getting a 2nd FHA loan which is typically not allowed, however we had a baby and acquired a 5 year old since we moved here.

The key is baby steps.

That makes us unable to compete with people who can get 5% loans and trust fund babies who are okay with a 5% return on their funds.

After having a 2nd baby I needed to make more space for the family and find a way to still have a rental property.

The best was a woman who had been in a car crash, had a back injury, was being kicked out (illegally of course) by her current landlord and the insurance company,  had a new baby,   was being unfairly harrassed by some govt agency  (forget which one) and whose adult son needed to stay with her but he couldn't be available to meet for viewing the apartment or signing the lease,  amongst a bunch of other things I don't really remember.   

Going to both is a good way to speed up your learning curve and make as many connections as possible.I am planning on going to both, however, my wife and I are expecting a brand new baby in early August so my schedule may not work out this coming month.  

Having a new baby boy at the end of the March so lost a bit of momentum with getting into my next house as soon as I had hoped, I've used the past 6 months to eliminate all my dept aside from my mortgage, 2 more months to go for that!

Ask yourself this though:  What happens if they get pregnant and now there are 3 and a baby?  

The baby boomer's are reaching retirement age.

I felt good because I was helping out him and his wife and kids (I had a newborn at home at the time too).Two weeks later I saw him working cars in the parking lot as they were going into the grocery store.
