There was nothing scalable about what I had done (got married and had a child while the small multifamily market got more and more expensive) from 2009-2013 so I moved on to other areas of investing.

I advise young couples to invest in a single-family rental home on the occasion of each child’s birth.

All of my exes were also unemployed at that time, which meant no child support, either, and they were not even in real estate.
