Starting Out w/ Children

[Andrew Lisi]

My wife and I are seriously considering jumping into real estate, thus being on this website. I've started reading a bit and we're hoping to purchase a multifamily unit here in Chicago as a "house hack." One concern I have is that we have a 19 month old now and another one on the way in October. I'm wondering if any of you have dealt with starting out while also having small children. Any advice? Also, any of you out there think this is just a bad idea? 

Thanks!

Children are happy when you are happy.  I don't think what you do for a living matters as long as there is a good relationship between the husband and the wife and of course the child.
