My grandmother passed away a few months ago and her home was passed down and split to her 6 children in a trust.

In C/D areas you must treat your tenants like children...bad children.By the 2 year mark if your property is paid off your cash flow will be reduced to almost zero due to the rent being eaten by paying for the opportunity value of your equity.

I just got me real estate license and have 3 young children so I am very part time.

They cannot achieve salaries that can help support their lifestyles as everything in the City increases dramatically.The population that is staying are then benefiting from their higher equity as their home prices increase as well as their ability to achieve higher salaries from those jobs that require a skillset for it.With the higher equity, if they owned, they are then able to send their children to higher quality of schools which we know are expensive today.When those kids come back, they want to stay, mostly because it's a great place and they can afford it by going to these quality schools and Universities.ANYWAY, I think you get the point.I have been seeing this trend for the last 21 years investing in Brooklyn, NYC.

So a brief backstory: army spouse, business/accounting background, moving several states (two time zones) away, four young children (6 and under), do not plan to work when we move (not anytime soon anyway).My husband and I only have this 1 property that was built in 2013 but will be looking to invest more down the line.

Luckily my children are both 2 and younger so i have some time before i reach that point.After my shift in thinking i read rich dad, poor dad and confirmed i was not indeed crazy. 

Showing children that you love your wife and that she loves you and that there is no separation in what Mom says and what Dad says is the best example you could set.You're on your way.

I do have children who will spend summers with me.

Because the landlord sold the house .i explained to them it wasn’t a good idea because I still .had a lot to do.they said had no we’re to go it’s stressful with  children and having a big family and so on and so on.they told me after I was.

If you intend on using FHA again, you of course have the issue of proving that the you either had a material life change warranting a larger property (had children) or you are moving far away for work.
