Of course listen to the kids but do not let them drive your decision.Kids can be more conservative and resistant to change than the worst adult.

I'm under 50, so property manager or my kids can manage the property managers of the area.

First set of tenants is a family Mom, Dad and two kids, they negotiated free rent to fix up the house and this was a verbal agreement (it doesn't appear they have done any repairs, at least not properly, for example the shower doesn't have a faucet and they hooked up a garden hose to the bathroom sink and ran it to the shower and put a shower head on the other end of the garden hose).

Once I kick the last 4 of our 6 kids out of the house we hope to attempt the same thing.

So after 10 years in my profession my wife and our 8 kids (yes 8 kids) have decided to travel for a year or so in our very large RV. 

I opted to leave full time managerial accounting to be able to spend more time with my kids.

It would be really depressing if I’m denied a license because of a pair of cheap earrings and A bottle of vodka I tried to steal when I was kid.

With those proceeds ($75k after fees, no capital gains for residency) I have:- Paid off $25k in credit cards, now my only "revolving debt" are balances I'm paying each month.We- Installed a radon system for our new home (~$6k; historic property, have a toddler and don't want to risk anything for his health, you folks with kids know what I mean)- down payment (25%) and finance fees totaling $38k for a triplex that will net $1000 a month, not accounting for anything other than PITI.

Sometimes there is some minor drywall patching, and eventually rooms need to be repainted, especially if there were kids there for several years.
