@Ryan DaleOh most definitely that’s very similar to me except I have not worked as long as you in other careers so I am not yet financially able to start any investing YET, but I do plan on learning the industry inside and out to the very best of my ability so that in the future when my financial standing will allow it I can invest with as much comfort as money can allow within reason.

Some admit they 'worked off the books' to avoid child support, others just had no clue how to take advantage of the many tax deferral plans or appreciate the advantage of Social security later in life as most have nothing saved. 

Just so I get versed and feel entirely comfortable when speaking with potential clients.

If, for whatever reason, the property gets foreclosed on is the child going to have repercussions? 

I used to be a realtor so I'm comfortable with the language but I sure would love to get some newbie adviceHELP!

And he's got a lot of expenses and write-offs.As for renting, we've plugged the numbers into Rent vs Buy calculators at Realtor and Trulia, and both say rent, for at least the next 15 years.We feel comfortable only paying $3K/month for either rent or mortgage.

None of us have; only you have and you have to be comfortable with all of it.

I'm more comfortable starting at homes selling in the $500k-$1m range and working up to the multi-million homes.

Looking at the housing shortage for those families in need, and looking at the housing voucher program I am looking for a property manager that is comfortable with the housing voucher system.   

If he uncovers any problem areas or something that he does not feel comfortable tackling I am going to go ahead and hire someone with a narrower focus.Again, thank you for the thoughtful answers, they played a role in this decision!
