I expect high taxes because the public servants (police, firemen, teachers, etc.) and various contractors/service providers have to get paid enough to survive in the expensive environment of San Diego.For my child, I plan on providing him a home to live when the time comes. 

I want to see her EXTRA busy build her business little a newborn baby. 

We love it there and plan to relocate to Jax to one of our rentals once our younger child goes off to college this year!

My wife had to live in an A area, my parents pushed that too since we had a child, we bought our first home.

I started around the same time as you, but am also juggling a very busy family life (child number 5 is three months old) and have made much slower progress towards my goal. 

I was a giddy school child telling them about my stablized cash flowing duplex. 

@Joshua McMillion 2021: Buy 2 more single family homes in Indiana before my first child is born in August.

Because our inventory is heavily weighted with one-bedrooms, we don't have very many children and all of our tenants with children either have stay-at-home relatives or school jobs so that child care won't be an issue.

So lets not use the "lazy and choose to be homeless" as the poster child of the issue.... the facts just don't support that position

Eviction legal process is extended, requiring longer notice times before a petition can even be filed at the court (at least 2 months to get a warrant)   Judge can issue a stay of said warrant for UP TO ONE YEAR for "financial hardship", which includes inadequate child care.It's just really frustrating.
