Mark Kohler explains how wealthy families build generational wealth through real estate rather than stocks. His parents taught him rental-property concepts at the dinner table and involved him in the family office. Real estate creates wealth through cash flow, appreciation, and leverage, while stocks mainly preserve it.

Build equity and long term wealth like no other asset class. Wealthy families teach their children about real estate and how to build wealth in real estate. My parents would teach me this as well. We owned rental property and I would start to learn about this at a very young age. During the week and on Saturdays, my mom would load up my brother and sister and I and we'd go in and clean the office while my dad would finish up work and then we'd load him up and head home and have dinner. This went on for years and we talk about rental property around the dinner table. The truly wealthy understand that real estate is the best asset class to build wealth. Over time. They teach their kids that the stock market can keep their wealth, but real estate builds wealth. Property can generate cash flow and appreciation, tax deferred or even tax free and be passed down to the next generation. Real estate can create tax benefits and it allows an investor to use leverage to even buy more real estate with less money down to get a bigger roi. Now all these concepts can be taught around the dinner table and this is what wealth people do. Bottom line. Parents teach their children about rental real estate and the concept of investing in real estate and cash flow.
