Looking to start out with a duplex, where my 2 children and I could live in one of the units. 

I like to work at my own pace because I do have a full time job and children.

Say 'Hell' to someone who doesn't care much about you.Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help.Miss Charlene Mason sang 'I will not pass this way again,' giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nursery downstairs.Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir.

Good day,I've been following the BP forums for a few months now, and all your posts inspired me to pursue real estate!

The parents had passed and left this house to their adult children who could not agree on what should be done.

I feel like I'm going to lose my home and I have two young children to care for.Contacted them and they just said they dont know what happened and they would look into it but telling me to pay the bill since its due soon and then telling to me advance the amount of the principal from my loan to my bank account.

Even though it's not big enough, people will use it for their children with some sleeping pads and/or a crib.

They have two younger children in the bottom unit. 

I have been inspired by so many of you and your stories of success and hardship.  

And whether you want(ed) your real kids out of the house as fast as possible, you want these quasi-children to stay as long as possible.So, focus on providing proper guidance and expectations throughout the experience.Hold them accountable and yourself equally so.Okay, so there you have it, the 3 keys to getting a tenant to stay long term:Price the unit aggressively to incentivize them to stay.Provide Quality Maintenance (and finishes)—take care of problems to avoid unnecessary disturbances and have the quality of finishes in the home commensurate with the price of rent.Provide Quality Management—Be Responsive, Make your home easy to live in and your rules easy to follow, and be a good parent.Thank you for making it this far.
