As is all of my Tenants are also doing better with California's large budget surplus and now the Child Care tax credits a family with  3 kids will get an extra $750 per month.

In my experience of dealing with renters, a single mom with 4 children should qualify for social assistance of roughly $400-500/child/month, and/or HUD (sect 8).

Also in my area, a lot of homes were just acquired from a family member dying, but guess what, the child or grandchild lives in Florida and doesn't plan to ever move back to the area.

I’ve worked myself out of a job as I finished homeschooling my last child this year.

There will be many, many times while doing this stuff that the chances of any sort of payout will seem minimal at best, and times when, yes, an enormous amount of work will go into something and there will be NO payout.What makes this even more difficult to wrap your mind around is that the American middle class basically trains their children into a wage-slave mindset from the age of five or six, when parents start to give a child an allowance.

I had several buddies on the "automatic payment plan" through garnishment, for cars and rent arrears and child support (and one guy on alimony that took almost his whole paycheck).

In the North Puget Sound and into Whatcom County, its possible to find a 3/1 slight fixer on a residential sized lot (<8000SF) for $200K, but you have to be on top of the listings and get it quick unless its a real problem child.

I like them a lot we respect each other we are both child free by choice and around the same age.

The truth is deaths have been documented from 3 months of age - essentially, newborns."

I remember reading on BP a few years ago that parts of MA had something similar about an eviction stay during the winter months.Of course, the whole state of NY now has an option for a 12 month eviction stay due to "tenant hardship" which includes personal responsibilities such as child care.
