Two kids to fund college for, excess cash will be funneled away for awhile...In the meantime its nice to have some properties to dabble with.Be sure to set up some key word alerts to find out about geographies and topics that interest you.

With a one or 2 bedroom it might not be as important but when you go to a 3-4 bedroom, you will have kids involved. 

you're not kidding prices here in charlotte and jersey are not even remotely close to each other (nor the Sq.

I would personally prefer to give it to a family with kids or non-couples with higher and equal pay. 

If you''re talking about hiring college kids to hand out flyers by knocking on doors and networking in person, idk if I'd trust that with my companies name on it without providing serious training on what I want accomplished and how to present themselves etc.

A little about me: I'm in my mid-20's, married no kids, and I work in Acquisitions for the federal government.

everyone will be different. in my case, it's given me a chance to hire people to do the jobs instead of fixing everything myself. that, in turn, has helped me spend more time with the kids and be home late nights.some people will tell you "i can travel more", i can afford more things, i can rest more, i can exercise more". at the end, it gives you time and money to do whatever you choose.

I also had my boys read Rich Kid, Smart Kid.  

Just kidding!

And, I always loved real estate, ever since I was a kid.
