This is also not the ideal option because you'll be spending so much on rent in the interim while waiting for your rehabilitations to be done.Few thoughts to leave you with: 1) Will your kids ever need money for schooling/life expenses? 

The barriers to entry for being an attorney are quite high (undergraduate degree, LSAT entrance exam, admission to law school, successful completion of law school, pass the bar exam, undergo fitness of character investigation).  

And good schools and infrastructure.The southeast side is cheapest, but riskier tenants, but you have a lot of long term stable jobs there like the Nissan plant, wear housing, amazon, airport workers.That's just my personal strategy's.
