Real estate is a new hobby of mine that I hope will grow into a means to support my children and grandchildren throughout their lives.

Does the purchase price include all the furniture?

Are there people strolling (with children)?

My wife and I have no children, but she has some pretty severe medical issues and cannot work so I've learned to become very disciplined with our money as I'm the only income source right now aside from selling auto and homeowners insurance on the side.Now for the mortgage info: we purchased our home for right at 185k in 2017 and currently owe 174k. 

I am in the process of purchasing buy and hold properties in different states and I want to make sure I have to correct legal structures for anonimity, asset protection, passing the assets to my children, and tax savings.This group has a seminar this weekend and I may use them:  https://andersonadvisors.com/Has anyone tried them or have recommendations for a similar firm?

And, if the new property is going to be your forever home to eventually be willed to your children, you will have no recapture owed by your estate upon death.

Hello everyone,I moved to Essex County, NJ from NYC hoping to buy a house at the end of 2021, however prices have skyrocketed more than ever before and people are paying for more than the home is actually worth.How has this sudden increase in home prices changed your home buying plans, especially when you need to stay in a certain area due to children, family, work, etc?

If you want to create a real estate empire and leave it to your children then work on that. 

I'm changing the locks but it looks like a lot of the stuff is still there, furniture, few clothes, food packs etc...

I could rent this for $800/month without it being furnished or I can rent here for $930/month totally furnished- it's going to go either of these ways - "great I've got furniture already and this is cheaper so I'll go with this one"  or "well it's a little bit more, but I don't need to mess with buying my own stuff because it's already furnished" (assuming all other things such as SqFt, location, etc were comparable of course)  I would say not necessary, but make sure to not short change yourself if you do furnish it and adjust with added value comps accordingly.
