As a Canadian investing in the U.S.A. you will most probably want to have a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC) and an entity incorporated in the U.S.A. which is a 100% owned subsidiary (child) of the Canadian corp.

The 16 year olsd is probably going to be having friends over quite a bit that spend the night.....and of course the adult companion (male or female) will be there a LOT with a child of their own.

Also make it look accordingly and match or exceed amenities.Don't fully rely on property managers, if your property is the ugly child, the only one that loves it is youIf you share details maybe we can brainstorm solutions. let me know

I learned the note-taking trick from a school teacher who protects himself from any potential child/parent accusations with journals on each child.

Also, by working around your kids, you can eliminate that huge expense of child care and as a bonus get to spend some extra time with your kids.Another option is to take another 8-6 job for two years, but live only off your rental income and bank all of your salary take home.  

I MUST achieve financial freedom to spend as much quality time with my only remaining child (15 yr old son) and travel as often as possible to aide in my healing process.

A reduction of child lead poisoning is a great result and the elimination of Catch-22 homes through rehab or demolition is a win for our community.

You have obviously never met a single mom who puts her child in a before and after school program and adds a babysitter 2 nights a week to pay the rent and just get by. 

We cannot tell you go hire your kids for 20k deduction (tax free income) at your flips/rental if you are qualified for child tax credit.

Abandoned means owner has departed and has no intention of ever returning, selling, renting, or giving it to someone else such as a child.
