I am oh so glad I bought this rental property back in the day, it may have not been where I had always wanted to be but shit happens. My intent was always to be able to leave a place paid for to my kids and that objective will be met next year. They've both know the hard knocks of giving out the vast majority of their money to pay rents and my consistent reminder to never mortgage a place for any reason, there shouldn't be any excuse you can't save up for whatever may be needed to be done while living rent/mortgage free. Now if shit does hit the fan we could all live here comfortably and survive it, what that it may finally end up being. If that it doesn't come into play for two, three more years I might even be able to get them settled into better school districts while using this one for income.
