My goal is to create passive income through rental single or multifamily properties and become financially free to be able to give my beautiful wife and my new born son the life they deserve.

I see similar price reductions in Palo Alto, where I live. 

My son and I finished up our projects in southern CA and relocated to Bend, OR. 

For example, we've seen instances where a tree fell on a pedestrian.... or a fire that occurs at one investor's house catches the neighbor house(s) on fire.

@Lucas CarlBig people talk about ideas.Little people talk about things.I ran a family owned bowling center with a bar in Illinois in the early 90's.  On

This house hasn't really been taken care of, especially since both her sons moved out and her husband passed away.

For example, if I sold 1/2 the balance of the note, the yield DOUBLES to ~20% on a 10% face rate note for the note buyer (unless of course I'm the note buyer, then it's okay :-)Pardon my french, but I will be a son of a b*tch before I pay a totally passive note investor that rate of return in this low interest rate enviroment. 

Find out if she's willing to do that for 3-4 years, then you guys could have multiple multi-family investments, then buy a primary home in a good school district when your son or daughter is about to start school. 

I'm now thinking seriously about how real estate investing may help me fulfill my need to diversify out of stocks and create a relatively passive stream of income that will help supplement my retirement and, going forward, help provide long-term for the needs of my adult autistic son.  

My son and I went.
