I learned the note-taking trick from a school teacher who protects himself from any potential child/parent accusations with journals on each child.

So one reason would be that eventually my wife and i may want to have another child but in our current situation our unit only has 2 bedrooms.

As a Canadian investing in the U.S.A. you will most probably want to have a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC) and an entity incorporated in the U.S.A. which is a 100% owned subsidiary (child) of the Canadian corp.

@Brittany Villamil welcome to the site.I too had several small ventures as a child.

Also make it look accordingly and match or exceed amenities.Don't fully rely on property managers, if your property is the ugly child, the only one that loves it is youIf you share details maybe we can brainstorm solutions. let me know

Each center can open and staff it's own daycares via applicants who test into child care.

We cannot tell you go hire your kids for 20k deduction (tax free income) at your flips/rental if you are qualified for child tax credit.

Only one piece of advice from me: between your killer job and your killer real estate investment skills, you have built yourself the ability to spend time with the child(ren) you wish to raise.

Also, by working around your kids, you can eliminate that huge expense of child care and as a bonus get to spend some extra time with your kids.Another option is to take another 8-6 job for two years, but live only off your rental income and bank all of your salary take home.  

A reduction of child lead poisoning is a great result and the elimination of Catch-22 homes through rehab or demolition is a win for our community.
