You meet these types, and they HATE tenants, they HATE the job, they're convinced that there's only one way to do it, Mommy and Daddy bought the duplex in 1951 and passed it on in the mid-eighties and they wish their parents had given them a stock portfolio instead.

Tell them you heard sounds like a child crying coming from your neighbor's apparently abandoned property and nobody answers when you shout but the crying continues. 

My parent always used no more than 2 people (note, people not kids) per room occupancy. 

I want to dive deep into this and apply myself to be able to be financially independent buy my family our dream house and retire my parents. 

I lost them to things like better paying out of town jobs, moving to wifes hometown to take care of parents, jail, even opening their own business and getting massively busy. 

Do not pay for your child’s education.  

If not can you get money from parents, family members?  

It's a little strange, but it gives the child a "better" sense of normalcy than having to go through the hassle of this week being at Mom's, and next week being at Dad's. 

Due to a family issue with my parents and sick sister I may want to go the route of having a duplex built rather than finding one already existing. 

My first thought when seeing this is my child is going to break their neck.
