Well first, There is Crazy, Crazy and Crazy.. One of them is a good thing and it sounds like you might fall into that category. (the other two.. well I don't want to go there and likely would get slapped if I did).
Now: Some thoughts:
I have rented a house, turned out to be a nighmare, As did my Father before me. (same result) Though some tenants will take care of the house. many seem to feel "it's not our property so why not trash it".. So make sure you get a good security deposit and have a manager check on teh hosue from time to time.
Second: Consider home schooling your child(ren).. Recently in a political thread elsewhere where they are allowed I mentioned "Even a 10 year old child could figure it out" I will admit I had a specific 10 year old in mind, She is a resident of this RV park I'm stuck in and yes, She figured it out (NO I'm not going to say WHAT it is, the point is that she is one sharp 10 year old).
With companies like k-12 dot com (not sure of the exact url) you get most of the benefits of a classroom/formal education along with the benefits of HOME schooling. And you have some limited freedom of movement during the school year.
(Abby (the 10 year old) does have to go to a specific school once or twice a year for testing, She also does well on the test... But then she has a good Mother and Grandmother she lives with.. as I said, She is a very sharp young lady)
