Maine is a horrible place to travel anywhere from (but a wonderful place to live)Having a place that has a lot of our clothes, supplies, etc. and forging relationships with the neighbors, etc.I’ve often wondered if we could get a better deal / bang for the buck with a SFH.

I'm slowly learning how this real estate game works and I want to become knowledgeable in all aspects, not better.I am happily married with a soon-to-be baby on the way.

Or their elderly parents had to live somewhere in a separate apartment, where they have to drive over to baby sit, and their kids have to drive the other way when their parents need assistance.As to addresses, duplexes and triplexs I own all have the same address for all the units, so I don't know what the problem is in your case.

One house I got at an auction, was literately an episode of hoarders--- there were clothes/stuff, piled roughly 3ft high throughout the 1000 sq ft house. 

It’s all about the long run baby! 

I think there would be a lot more wealth built, and many more happy endings for real estate investors if folks focused on the strong financial foundation built through the first 3 baby steps prior to investing, and did the simple, hard fundamentals of saving up a down payment, building strong credit, and living frugally to maximize their savings rates. 

Google "David Ramsey's 7 Baby Steps."

Which is so exciting, but makes all of this feel a lot harder when a baby is in the mix!

Maybe if I had a larger portfolio and didn't have small babies, but not now.
