I actually still play with my children since they have the new electronic banking cards and 2million earned every time you pass go.

The owner on the title was deceased and the deceased owner had no children and also had no living siblings which meant we had to hire a genealogist to trace down the family tree and get to the people who legally sell us the property.

They didn't do a lot of damage other than cutting up any screens and left some furniture, but I still had to lose a year's income, pay all the taxes (2 years), and pay an attorney and paint the entire house and replace screens, etc. 

You will be babysitting adult sized children either way .

I can't even get my own children to start investing in real estate they think it's to risky.

Hello all :-) My name is Laura, I'm a wife and mother to four children, 3 in school and one still at home.

She lives with her two teenage children and has been an absolute rock star.

However with having 3 children living in a fixer upper could be a bit difficult.

One of those you can make shine with a few improvements and new furniture to make it pop.How did you finance this deal?

I have a friend who staged a house so well that the buyer purchased the furniture.
