I have been able to rehab homes since I was a kid, and will be doing brrrr as soon as I move there.

and then they'll probably say "oh, no my kids are in high school" or something along those lines.    

I didn't mention this in the other post but your first step may be to contact the city and see if they would allow a movable house on the property. 

In this case with the kids someone has taken or will take over guardianship..

Some unusual circumstances (that at least included the positives of international living) equal: a spouse who's only been finding employment overseas and a contract that ends in 2 years with no idea of what's next, no career for me, kids growing up (one in Germany, one still in high school) at the same time my dad has moved in and needs some caregiving, no retirement to speak of for DH and myself, but dad's generosity has provided us with a now-paid-off SFR via no-interest personal loan payable if at some point dad has to move out and go into assisted living.  

We do have rooms that aren't being used since my two kids prefer to share a room, but I wouldn't even consider having strangers in my house around my wife and two girls.

My kids love to hear the actual calls vs. the transcript.   

I'm here to learn more about real estate investing, so, bear with me.Although, I'm very new to real estate investment.........I'm not new to real estate rental property management, because, I've helped my parents manage their tenants and rental units as a kid, teenager, and young adult.

The offer was accepted the very next day and I felt like a kid at Christmas.

Many people have a tv stand/console...and they are cheap as well as movable.
