There are days I have to work late, stay all day and the various Navy related duties but like I mentioned earlier would like experience/exposure while helping out/not being a burden.My wife and I have two rental properties and our primary residence so I'm not completely new to the world of real estate but when it comes to investing I'd consider myself a newbie.

Are there any areas you would recommend staying away from or is it more house specific? 

Mass Housing's appraisal process is a lot easier too.If you can stay south of the Mass Pike and out of the Worcester hills, you'll have less snow in the winter. 

I am not aware of too many wholesales that require the grass to be cut in order to double your money. 

Just want to know if there are options I'm not aware of.

Living in Los Angeles.Renting where I live for $1700.Currently stay at home dad.

- Any zoning regulations to be aware of? 

They were going to stay in the apartment until the lease was up and I was leaving early.

Good news-not a war zone. 

If something goes wrong with your current house with the tenants you will be in a difficult position financially on top of the preasures of a new growing family.Babies do lot take up a lot of space so I would consider staying in your current home until you have enough equity to sell it.
