She's been a stay at home mother for about 10 months tending to our two younger children (2 years old and 7 month old).

I got in the unit today and there are a few things wrong with the property:Smoke smell throughout - yes I have no smoking in the leaseStuff everywhere, furniture, tables, bed, chairs, power wheels - stuff everywhere that will require a dumpster to removeDamage to downstairs ceiling from upstairs leak, broken utility sink, damage to garage door, paint on garage floor.Not sure why or how or what, but there was a 3-pack of "Bed Bug and Flea" Bomb cans with 1 can missing - please help me on that front!!!!

Put all new furniture.

Once you get your reserves good to go, move in a year, rent the 2nd unit and repeat with more Multifamily properties or Single Family Homes.If I hadn't been married with three children when I started landlording, that's what I would've done.Good luck on your RE journey!

Ultimately I want to replace mine and my husband's income with passive income from investments.That being said, I have worked with at risk children in schools doing behavior intervention for the last 13 years.  

I'm not necessarily looking to quit my job, but rather provide additional income for my family so that we can better invest for our future, our children's future, and have some extra "fun money" to take family trips.

I'm living in Bergen, Norway with my Norwegian wife and children.

I'm not a lawyer, no legal advice, but check your fair housing rules as you could be getting yourself in some hot water raising rent on them simply for asking to allow a family with children.  

All that remains are some random pieces of indoor and outdoor furniture and some boxes and the like.
