My dreams: Owning enough rental properties to never miss a moment of my future children growing up.

So, not only she sent me the brand of the mattress but she found an old receipt from a furniture store, and then we noticed that the brand name was not the same as the mattress she had at home.

As a divorced grandfather with five children I have significant personal experience with the impact a divorce can have on your children.

We spend about $10k per bedroom of the home on furniture, kitchen items, linens and technology.

For example, military families coming from overseas may not get their furniture for a month or two, so they will stay in a property for that timeframe so they have access to a kitchen and furniture. 

Then go for it, but plan to spend some $ to address renovations, furniture, cash reserve, etc.  

(often times with the furniture included)Normally I'd default to inflation and subsequent market uncertainty.

Issue is that they have all their stuffs inside the home(Tvs, furniture, etc).

Holes in a couple of the doors.They left so many of their possessions behind, including furniture, I think in total it must have filled a 20-cubic-yard dumpster.Come to find out later, the tenant moved with their family into a whole new "dream" residence. 

Find furniture to rent and a property manager to do a short-term rental (Airbnb/VRBO) for the next 10-12 months.4.
