That is why I’m trying to be successful in real estate, so that I can provide for my children and be able to, eventually, set my own schedule. 

The tricky part is that you have to also allow their children.

You know the mother may not have a record, but what about the older children?

He has three adult children.

We have small children so it's only natural we as well as our family is very concerned with what we have just embarked on.

Our goal is to build a sizeable portfolio to gain financial independence, while teaching our children along the way.

@Patrick PhilipThe beauty of much of this business for the investor is that while an investor sees a piece of land with a structure on it in terms of fungible value, a retail buyer sees a home and hearth, a place to raise their children, somewhere to grow old together with their loving spouse, a symbol of their financial competency, a mark of belonging to one class rather than another.

My name is Nicholas, I am from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. i am a 34 year old family man, with my girlfriend( who I want to make my wife one day) and 2 young children(4 yr old boy and 2 yr old girl).

As a parent myself I certainly understand wanting to help your children but the 20 year landlord in me has me skeptical, and frankly I don't like pets in my properties. 

(Somewhat) Hypothetical scenario,An elderly owner with 2 children owns an asset outright and has owned it for 60 years.
