I was wondering if there are any good books to navigate the world of liens and how they work( mortgage, tax, child support, builder, etc) .

However.. i work full time as a teacher, have our first child.. beautiful girl almost 6 months old, and I play and sing in a successful acoustic band on the side.

To make a short story:Professional age 30, income in six figures, - disposable income of ~120K a year after taxes, bills and loans- stay at home wife with child- looking for stable investmentsWhat is the best route and use of my capital?

Your child might actually get more resources going to Durham schools.So to answer your question... yes, it would be expensive and risky to buy a mansion in hope valley central but you can get something a couple of blocks over in North Hope Valley.  

Im not here to waste my efforts to go back and forth with a child realtor.

I doubt this dog would bite, but with a small child I feel it is wholly inappropriate that she brings her big dog.

I bumped it the day I read a newspaper article about a tenant's child recovering 3.8Mil because the hot water heater was set too high. 

Just enough to alert..I said yes because:- They are good tenants, hands-off, and paying healthy rents- They want to keep it outside, so I didn't charge an extra deposit- I figure it will tie them to the house longer because they will have the right size yard for their dog at this house, and somewhat limit their ability to move by those who do not accept pets (what parent wants to get rid of their child's favorite pet?)

I want to use this leverage towards an investment property but I also need a home for my fiancée and soon to be born child.  

I am married with one child and purchased my first 2 investment properties in 2009.
