Some of them have been able to eventually retire on rents alone, in fact one such couple are in their 30's with 4 very young children, (but they do work very hard at being Landlords & have NEVER missed a payment to us).This sums up our quest ......

According to the IRS, I cannot manage the property myself, I cannot conduct any repairs myself, I cannot find my own tenants, I can’t even have my parents, spouse, children, or grandchildren do anything related to the property.

The answer is YES It could be a violation because the ad could imply that “couples first starting out are childless and therefore, families with children may feel excluded.

Also, I would probably not rent to tenants with pets or young children, since the potential damage/cleaning could make it more of a headache than you get paid for.

Have not been taking the deduction for paying my children and the home office because my current CPA is rather conservative.

We had two very small children, making travel very challenging, and it just wasn't practical for us to travel just to find a place to hang our hats for a year or two while we settled into our new location.

Moving forward, there were 6 children born by my father.One is deceased also.

Do you have children?
