You could always rent out a room though if your girl is cool with it.3) Buy a Duplex -- The big sell here is telling your girlfriend that if you make this sacrifice now, you'll be much better off in 10 years and can buy an even bigger home for her to raise your kids in. 2 Homes on 1 Lot may get you the best of both worlds though, but Zillow, Redfin, etc. isn't really meant to search for that specifically.

I remember as a kid growing up, our house was not in the immediate vicinity of the base but you still often heard jet noise and I didn't love it.

Kids came in with $50k cash & we hold the balance. 

My wife and I want to live there because it's where we want to be (10 min from her parents and 10min from our church and it has a large creek and 3 acres of land for future kids to run around on).

I own two SFH's that I rent to college kids and the multi would be for the same purpose.

Do monthly or quarterly cleaning inspections.By way of background, I manage 21 properties that are student rentals in NJ near Rutgers. 150+ kids, 5 years experience doing it. 

Most importantly, you are 15 years old, so be a kid and have fun.

Hello,In California on a rental sign can I put home many people cant live in my rental home I'm renting and if so does kids count as the number of people?

I believe doing all those hours for 5 years probably will not be easy on my wife and future kids but it must be worth it once you get to a point where the business is running and you can free up time for them for the rest of your life.

Someone will end up with custody of the kids and may want to reside in the same property.
