Second, ignore the title lady.

I second @James Carlson has great info on investing, the laws leave it wide open for Airbnb. 

He would be secured by a second position.

Second, Real Estate is a perfectly viable pursuit and passion.

I would second Michael G.

@Paul SingerStrong second for Carl and Dave with Indy Pro Inspections.  

I have since purchased my second and wisely chose a better cash flowing SFH in New Braunfels - $375 cash flow all in.

I second what Account Closed stated. 

Am looking at these two properties in LA, one is a 4-unit 50 years old just East of Culver City, somewhere east of Hauser and just north of Jefferson Blvd. this one is a bread and butter property which almost covers its own expenses and will be completely carrying itself in 5 years, second one is a 3-units 95 years old on Eagle Rock in walking distance to Colorado Blvd with one unit vacant (needs 30K to rehab).

My situation, I'm a 32 year old single father of an 8 year old girl, I have a full time job making around 61k/year I have been renting a townhouse from my mother for nearly a decade, never really thinking I would have to move in fact, I assumed(like an ***) that I would just end up owning it sooner or later, I never prepared for having to move or prepared a downpayment or anything of that sort, in other words, I've been very stupid over the years.
