We rented to Dad and the children were listed in the rental agreement as occupants as well, even though it was not their primary residence.

They would be moving 100 miles or more(could be 50 but I believe it is 100) for a new job or a job transfer or change the size of the family ie you bought a 2 bedroom home owner occupant and now have had several children and need a bigger houseMoving down is size is just not going to fly with an underwriter

Make sure the tenants know that their pets and children should not touch the traps.Find out how the rats are getting in and eliminate that.  

My experience has been that parents of adult children usually reject advisers brought in by their children.

I'm seeing a lot of people wanting to move out of Hartford, into New Britain, which is about the same (low) price range, because they feel that their children aren't safe in Hartford.

Honestly it would have to be between me going to the poor house and my children starving or being able to survive, to touch a deal like that.

For fourplexes, the demographic seems to be people who are moving out of apts because they have very young children and want a small yard for a pet, but dont have the capital or credit to purchase.

Remember that just because they may not have small children, plenty of cases have been brought by friends, neighbors and relatives.         

This is not bad since you say you have 7 children which will naturally cripple your ability to invest.As long as you have kids at home you would be better off buying a smaller boat and sailing on weekends while you slowly invest.

In fact, a lot of people from Uvalde will attempt to send their children to Knippa due to Uvalde's poor school system.
