Since I became a homeowner 4 years ago my interest in real estate has grown.

I'm just learning about hiring my children and the tax benefits.

I never said that I was going to take food from my children's mouth and pour it into a bad investment 🙄 - I also never said that I want to replace my income with the first deal that I do - that's the goal EVENTUALLY. 3k would never come close to replacing my monthly income.

For example you could ask a question about having children or some other protected class that to you seems innocuous but to others indicates potential bias and discrimination.
