And if you have kids, not just guardians, but temporary guardians like your babysitter or neighbor who can take care of your children while the long term guardian arrives, That way you avoid child services and the long court system.

I have a child on the way in a mortgage to pay, so this is what pulled me in period what does everyone think?

The tenant complained about lead-based paint and found that their child had lead poisoning.

The owner developed the property in 1992 and had been micro-managing Andrew for the past four years because this development was like a child to the owner.

It is move in ready.We would like to purchase a property to live in and fix up while we rent our primary for 2 years then move back in as our primary (once our first child is school age).The advantages I see are essentially this sets up up to purchase at least 2 more properties (one with the extra income and one we would be living in)The dis-advantages I see are potential tax issues.What disadvantages, if any, do you see?

I had called a hard money lender and probably sounded like a rambling child!

"Produced one bastard to stain the good earth" So distasteful to say about a child and coming from a Christian at that.

@Isaac Childs Congrats on overcoming a fear a lot of first-time investors have - getting out there and actually meeting people!

Have a child or get a girlfriend and suddenly you need more space. 2/1's are far more stable, with 3/2's allowing tenants to stay for years (but they are a lot more rare in multifamily).So I'd highly advise going for the triplex rather than the 6-unit building.

I'll have to admit, What you guys have provided in this site would have costed a literal arm, leg, and first born child a decade ago and maybe still so today.
