I currently work in lending but plan to leave the workforce once our first child is born and not sure when or if I will go back to working even when they get older.

He sent me a text message asking if it's okay for him to break the lease so he doesn't have to pay April rent, because he's paying child support and low on money. 

We have two little ones (2.5year old and the newborn).

The numbers are certainly not accurate (just a made up example), but it seems like the choice is to sell today and get (let's say) ~$50K one-time; or keep it and get an accumulated $500K over 25 years or so, plus have a legacy to leave when I die and a bank I can potentially withdraw from every 5 years or so with another refi as/if needed in the future.I cannot speak for you, but for me, I see selling for cash today as a crime against my future self, child and future grand-children.

It may be a child, aunt, cousin but she has always found somebody for me.

(Plus you'll have folks with dementia flushing things they shouldnt etc - while on that subject - we update our electrical outlets as we go room to room with the child proof tamper resistant ones - a resident sticking something in the outlet they shouldnt is what prompted that update -- that happened about 6 mos or so I think after I bought the business - they cost a bit more than standard contractor grade but to me it's worth the added protection and if anything ever did happen - you can truly say you did about all you possibly could)

My strategy is to buy this property and lease it for the next 10-15 years, where I will sell it and take the cash to provide it as college funds for my oldest child. 

@Justin Elliott - Thanks for the welcome and congrats on the 3rd child!
