Build long term wealth I can pass on to my children and 2.) have secondary income to live and retire on.I am currently out of the country for work but will be back soon and have been using my time away to education myself on real estate. 

Jude's Children's Hospital and FedEx HQs, both of which were expanded recently (excellent); The crime can be spotty even within a neighborhood, zipcode or street (that's how it is); Appreciation might be slow, or non existent (fine, not betting on appreciation).

I will accept a married couple with a combined income of 3X rent but never include adult children income.

I discovered BiggerPockets through finding their podcasts on YouTube and found their discussions inspiring and helpful.

There are ways for parents to co-sign leases for children who have no credit.

SFR preferred, but open to multiplex or apartment if it's suitable for their young children (newborn and 2.5-yr-old) and 40 lb. dog.

I have young children and I absolutely hate missing out on things.

First off, let me just say that you all are true inspirations and I would like to thank all that have contributed to making this such a resourceful commodity for my wife and I to pull from!

We have a second home where one of our adult children is living.

Thanks Taylor - I was initially inspired by you.
