re: Multi-Family Housing Is A Viable Yet Overlooked Path For Home Ownership

When we lived in the French Quarter, I had met a man who owned a huge number of rental units there. He was well known for being rich and dressing poor.
I was at city hall one day checking on ownership of a lot that was going to be auctioned. He and his wife were there checking on a different property. He introduced me to his wife AND lawyer. I said "well, that's convenient". they both laughed and she said that several years earlier they realized their lawyer bills were too high and it would be cheaper for her to go to law school up town that to continue to hire lawyers. So she did, and it was one of the best decisions they had ever made.
