Our children are out of the house, our credit is excellent, and we have significant liquid assets (cash and brokerage) - more than $200k. 

I have had many Hispanic tenants, gay tenants, one trans tenant that I am aware of, old tenants, young tenants, tenants with a lot of children.  

The tenants are two sisters, each of whom has two children (so 6 people total in the house), and the house has 4 bedrooms.

Columbus has seen great appreciation with many new jobs being created from large expansions by companies such as Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide Children's hospital and Wexner Medical Center.

You could rent the homes in the near term and later have your children occupy them, potentially with roommates, to offset expenses.This approach also preserves flexibility on the back end.

My strategy is to buy and die - get a couple of quality properties to pass to my children.

I'm 45 years old with 4 children. 

@Tove FoxDriving Park has been improving over the past few years, especially the sections closer to Nationwide Children’s Hospital and Livingston Ave, but it’s still very block-by-block, so it’s smart you’re digging into the details.

Just as children should not eat lead paint (I'm not sure how you bite a wall) they should not ingest asbestos siding or "pop corn" either None, of this information is compliant with any current cities asbestos disposal laws.

I pay my minor children for working in my company and as long as they stay under the standard deduction they pay zero tax on the income most/all of which goes into their Roth IRA's which grows tax free and comes out tax free.
